Meet Our Staff

EPC is currently searching for a new, full-time pastor. This an excellent time for the congregation, including new participants, to get in on the ground floor and help decide what our next pastor will be like, what we will expect him or her to accomplish, and who that person will be. Working together, we will forge a new future for EPC, one that embraces the hopes and needs of everyone who is involved.

In the mean time, Rev. Carlyle Spohr will be in the pulpit each week until a new called pastor can be found. The church, and all its ministries are active and fully functioning. The Body of Christ is alive and well, working to help people meet and walk with Jesus. And the following staff members are maintaining a full head of steam.

 Rev. Carlyle Spohr, our interim pastor, has already endeared himself to the congregation with his warm, personal style and delightful sense of humor. He has served as pastor or as interim pastor for several major churches within the Denver Presbytery. His Master of Divinity degree is from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.

 Vince Cacciato, our contemporary music director, is a guitarist with a classical background and a bent toward alternative rock. And he loves helping people experience God in worship through music. Vince comes to us from Harvest Downtown Church in Colorado Springs where he served as music director for five years. His focus is on reaching out to young worshippers throughout the Elizabeth community, with a high-energy, deeply spiritual approach to contemporary music.

Vince has a Master of Music degree from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. He also manages and plays in a Christian rock band named “Ash Wednesday.” He and his wife, Sharon live in Founders Village with their two daughters, Elisa Renee (4) and Maren Elizabeth (2).

 Nathan Travis, our part-time youth director, has brought new energy and vitality to the ZANY youth group, which reaches out to both middle and high school students around the area. The ZANY name comes straight out of the mission statement the group was challenged to write when Nathan first came on board. That mission statement is:

We serve the Lord with Zeal. We are Absolute in our commitment to help our Neighbors. We are the Youth.

 Nathan grew up as part of the body of Christ at Elizabeth Presbyterian Church. His family has attended here since before most of us can remember. It was while active in the youth group as a kid that he became truly committed to the Lord. Out of gratitude for the way his life was changed back then, Nathan has become dedicated to helping other young people experience that same transformation.

Nathan also has a full-time job working for the Town of Castle Rock as a Water Line Maintenance Technician. He lives in Elizabeth, about a block from the church, with his wife, Stephanie, their twin boys, Alex and Logan, and their daughter, Ashlyn.
