King of Kings Lutheran Church ELCA

What King of Kings Lutheran Church ELCA does

King of Kings Lutheran Church ELCA is a private nonprofit religious organization founded in 1963 in Pueblo, Colorado, and affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The church serves a local congregation and broader Pueblo community through weekly Sunday worship services (with Holy Communion celebrated every Sunday at 9:30 am in summer), Christian education programs for ages 3 through high school, youth ministry including confirmation classes and summer day camp, music programs (Chancel Choir and Bell Choir), and an extensive portfolio of social ministry outreach including Baby Layettes, Thimbles and Patches quilt ministry, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Toy Makers, and Toy and Joy Shop (serving over 6,000 children annually).

The organization's physical footprint is a single campus at 2561 Vinewood Ln, Pueblo, CO 81005, comprising a 248-capacity sanctuary, a 275-capacity large fellowship hall, an 85-capacity small fellowship hall, a courtyard, and a columbarium/memorial garden. Technology infrastructure is modest: a WordPress website (kingofkingspueblo.org), Vanco Payment Solutions for secure online giving, and a YouTube channel hosting recorded worship services archived back to 2020. The church employs 5 staff: a Pastor (Bill Dohle), Secretary (Jill Ramos), Events Coordinator (Cathy Jacobs), Facilities Manager (Roger Riekena), and Music Director (Neal Figueroa).

Revenue is generated from three streams: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants (primary), event venue rental of sanctuary and fellowship halls to community members for weddings, quinceañeras, and events, and one-time columbarium niche sales ($600 including memorial plaque and inurnment) and memorial garden plots ($100). Annual revenue is not disclosed. The organization is governed by an elected Church Council and self-governed under its own constitution and bylaws within the ELCA denominational framework, with no commercial investors or external ownership.
