Listen to an interview with the Pastor

Anthony J. Pranno

After serving on staff with Campus Crusade’s athletic ministry Athletes in Action for five years in California and North Carolina, Anthony studied theology, church history and leadership at Duke Divinity School and Denver Seminary, graduating in May 2001.

Highlights in ministry include being appointed as a chaplain to the USA Olympic Team in Barcelona, serving as the director for a discipleship program based in north Denver, and leading the congregation at Rocky Mountain Community Church.  Anthony also loves to do pre-marital counseling and weddings!

He’s been married ten years to his wife Katheryn. They have two wonderful twin boys, Shane and Tyler, who are 6 years old and a four year-old girl named Jordyn. It’s no surprise that as a Colorado native, Anthony’s interests include backpacking, fishing, and Denver sports teams, but his favorite hobby is golf.
