  • Talya Bultema, Discipleship Coordinator

    “Hey, my name is Talya! I’m a recent graduate of Denver Seminary and am currently in the ordination process. When I’m not doing Nova things, I’m likely climbing, walking with a pal (while unashamedly gushing over everyone’s dogs), listening to an audiobook (any recs for fiction?), or drinking too much coffee! Looking forward to meeting you!”

  • Holly Dayton, Administrative Assistant

    “Hi, my name is Holly and I am an administrative assistant here at Nova! I thoroughly enjoy getting to collaborate and be creative with others. I am passionate about pursuing God’s calling in the arts. I love Nova’s welcoming community and seeing God at work in the city of Denver.”

  • Chuck Fowler, Co-Pastor

    “Hey, I’m Chuck! I started Nova Church over two years ago with my wife and co-pastor, Katie. Our core conviction is that Jesus makes all things new. We wanted to build a church that would join in God’s work of renewal. We live in central Denver with our three young kids.”

  • Katie Fowler, Co-Pastor

    “Hi, I am Katie. I am one of the co-pastors of Nova Church. I believe there is constantly hope for something new to breakthrough in our lives and in our world because Jesus is present and at work. Because the love of God is the defining reality of our world. (And our lives too!)”

  • Michaela Gehr, Family Ministry Coordinator

    “Hi, I’m Michaela and I’m the Family Ministry Coordinator! Im passionate about caring for people as whole beings and acknowledging the good work the Lord is doing in and through their lives. I have an MA in Christian Formation and Soul Care from Denver Seminary. I am primarily a stay at home mom by day but am so thrilled to be on staff at Nova during baby naps and evening services. I am excited to be coordinating Nova Kids and caring for whole families in family-oriented discipleship.”

  • Tina Huerta, Pastoral Resident

    “Hi, I am Tina! I am a lover of the arts, coffee, dogs and meaningful conversations. Currently a student at Denver Seminary and I feel privileged to be on the team here at Nova. The movement of Jesus among us is one that brings about beauty, justice, restoration and redemption. I want to be a part of that and help others to join in too.”

  • Sara Joy Kristinsson, Worship Leader

    “Hello, I’m Sara Joy! I’m so grateful for the beautiful city of Denver that God has uniquely created and consider it an honor to be serving here. I pray that people might find the hope, joy, and peace that only Jesus can provide through the worship and music here at Nova Church.”

  • Franklin Sarker, Story Group Facilitator

    "Hi! Franklin here! I volunteer with Nova to lead the Story Group initiative. I have a passion to engage people’s spiritual longings. I joined Nova with the heart to create a safe place for people from all backgrounds to have ownership of their personal story and spiritual journey."
