Christ On The Mountain Church

What Christ On The Mountain Church does

Christ On The Mountain is a Catholic parish operating within the Archdiocese of Denver and located at 13922 West Utah Avenue in the Green Mountain area of Lakewood, Colorado. The parish serves the faithful within defined boundaries roughly bordered by 6th Avenue to the north, Union/Kipling to the east, Highway 285 to the south, and Highways 8 and 93 to the west. Its functional mission centers on the celebration of sacraments (Baptism, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Funeral rites), the preaching of the Gospel, religious education from Pre-K through high school, Youth Ministry, and a Vacation Bible School offering each summer. Worship services are held Saturday at 4:30 p.m., Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and Tuesday–Friday at 8:00 a.m., with confession available Tuesday–Friday mornings and Saturday afternoons.

The parish operates with a staff of approximately nine to ten people led by Pastor Rev. Witold Kaczmarzyk and two Deacons (Don Tracy and Mike Fletcher), and including a Director of Religious Education & Youth (Mary Ann Fairbank), Pastoral Assistant (Don Ferega), Parish Secretary (Ann Nelson), Director of Music & Liturgy (Ron Seggerman), Religious Education Assistant and Bulletin Editor (Debbie Vega), Parish Accountant (Michele Weber), and Parish Custodian (Ellen O'Connor). Its underlying technology stack is built on commodity third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: a Squarespace-hosted website (christonthemountain.net), Flocknote for parishioner email/text communications, the FORMED.org digital faith-content platform (accessed via parish code WHFKBY), and Vanco for electronic giving and recurring donations. The parish also operates the Joe Downs Memorial Hall for ministry activities.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through donations and stewardship giving, with no commercial product lines. The five revenue streams are: Sunday offertory and plate collections, recurring electronic giving through Vanco, planned giving and endowments via The Catholic Foundation of Northern Colorado, the annual Archbishop's Catholic Appeal supporting over 40 archdiocesan ministries, and nominal per-child fees for Vacation Bible School ($50 per child, covering daily snack and crafts). An Outreach Committee further distributes a portion of giving across more than 50 vetted charitable partners spanning parish, archdiocesan, state, national, and international tiers. As a nonprofit parish under the Archbishop of Denver, the entity has no shareholders, no equity instruments, and no externally disclosed financials.
