ALL SAINTS LUTHERAN CHURCH

What ALL SAINTS LUTHERAN CHURCH does

All Saints Lutheran Church is a single-site congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), located at 15625 East Iliff Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, and founded in 1979. It operates as a private nonprofit religious organization within the Rocky Mountain Synod, which encompasses 159 congregations across the Rocky Mountain region; All Saints donates 10% of its offerings to the Synod. The church delivers weekly Sunday worship services at 10:00 AM both in person and via YouTube live streaming, preceded by Sunday School at 9:00 AM during the school year. Liturgical worship with communion at every service anchors the program, complemented by Christian education for children and adults, youth programs, confirmation and first communion classes, life-event sacraments (Baptism, Weddings, Funerals, Confirmation, First Communion), and a choir/music program directed by a paid Music Director and Accompanist.

The church's operating model is donation-driven: revenue consists entirely of voluntary contributions from congregation members, collected in-person and through digital channels including the Vanco Faith Engagement mobile app and PayPal. Staffing is small — two ordained pastors (Pastor Chelsea Achterberg and Pastor Mandy Achterberg, Pastor for Ministry Renewal and Community Care), a Church Administrator, Music Director, Accompanist, and a currently vacant Bookkeeper role — supported by a volunteer Council and a broad base of congregational volunteers. Outreach is a core function, including a food pantry (open weekday mornings with Tuesday "Food Boxes to Go"), Aurora Warms the Night meal preparation, Holy Hammers (a five-church Habitat for Humanity coalition), Little Flower Assistance Center support, Holiday Baskets for 40+ families, a Quilting Group producing 20-30 quilts annually for Lutheran World Relief, and facility use by community groups (Boy Scouts, HOAs, exercise groups, homeschool co-ops, self-help groups).

The underlying technology stack is composed entirely of standard third-party tools rather than proprietary systems: WordPress for the public website (allsaintsnet.org), YouTube for live streaming, Vanco Faith Engagement for digital giving, PayPal for donations, Mailchimp for bulletin distribution, and iCon CMO for the member directory and meeting minutes portal. Member communication runs through a weekly "Weekly Tidbits" email newsletter and online bulletins, with social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The church does not charge for worship, sacraments, or programming; wedding fees exist but are not publicly disclosed. No AI or machine-learning capabilities are deployed, and no financial data is publicly available.
