Leadership at Manitou Community Church
The best church leader is a team. At Community Congregational Church, we’re blessed with an outstanding group of dedicated paid and volunteer leaders who conduct services, run events and keep our community on a clear spiritual path.

Rev Heather McDuffee
PASTOR
Let me introduce myself. I’m Reverend Heather McDuffee. I began ministry more than 20 years ago in Boulder, CO. I have been an Associate Minister in Boulder, CO and in Canton, Ohio and a Lead Pastor in Colorado Springs. I am passionate about social justice ministry and action, from racial justice ministry to food and healthcare equity. Other than ministry, I live with my future wife, Brandy, and my two smart and sassy tweenaged girls. I love singing, talking about the Enneagram, looking for art for my next tattoo, hiking with my Chihuahua, listening to '90's hip hop, working in my gardens and trusting God with it all
