Rector, The Reverend Allan Cole

Reverand Allan ColeAllan is the fifth Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.  He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and received his Masters of Divinity from the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, TN.  Following his ordination in 2000, he served as Assistant to the Rector at St. Andrew’s in Maryville, TN and then as Senior Chaplain at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, SC.  Allan was appointed Priest-in-Charge at St. Paul’s in 2008 and was installed as Rector in May of 2011. 

As a priest, Allan is committed to beautiful, artful and meaningful worship and particularly to the proclamation of the Gospel message in preaching.  He therefore devotes much of his time to the prayer and study that inspired preaching requires.  Allan views the preaching of the Gospel as a call to new life. So the preaching event itself is not a solicitation to a certain way of believing, but to the decision of faith. 

A native of North Carolina, Allan is the father of three sons.  As a mountain biker, snowboarder, and lover of the outdoors (and as one who loves to wear cowboy boots), he is proud to call Colorado his home.
