Pete Nelson
  Senior Pastor
  pete@whitefieldschurch.com

As a pastor, musician and evangelist, Pete Nelson’s worldwide travels have given him a unique perspective on the church as well as the global need for the gospel.

Pete, though rebellious in his early teens, gave his life to the Lord in his senior year of high school. By nineteen, Pete was teaching Bible studies and was dedicated to youth evangelism and discipleship in Albuquerque New Mexico. During this time, Pete and two worship leaders from the youth group formed a band, The Kry.

With the success of The Kry, Pete moved to Southern California. This began a six-year season of evangelism on a global level for Pete, traveling worldwide, preaching the gospel, and planting churches in Europe, the Balkans, Hungary, South America, Africa and Australia. During this time, Pete continued Bible teaching in Southern California, as well as speaking at conferences and retreats.

Pete moved to Vail, Colorado, in 1998, to help plant a new church. In 2001, Pete became associate pastor at Crossroads Church of Denver where he taught and continued leading international short missions and church planting ventures.

Pete returned to New Mexico in 2003, and was the Senior Pastor at Calvary of Albuquerque until 2006.

Pete’s travels and ministry experience has given him a unique perspective on the church, as well as an appreciation for a broad variety of leadership styles. His vision is ’to see every individual in the church be mobilized into a ministry…to discover God’s plan and purpose for their life. The great commission starts right here in our backyard…sharing Christ with a co-worker or planting a church on the other side of the world is no different in my mind.’

Pete and Angie, with their three children, Isaac, Lauren, and Seth currently reside in Niwot, Colorado. Pete is the pastor of White Fields Community Church, in Longmont Colorado.

Paul Evans and his family moved from Colorado Springs to Longmont in 2009 to lead the youth ministry at WFCC. When Paul and Sara (now his wife) were teenagers living in Albuquerque, they were members of Lifeline... the youth ministry that Pete and Angie Nelson headed up in the early 90s (it seems God has a sense of humor)! Paul and Sara are committed to helping this young generation discover for themselves that Jesus is who He says He is... that the Bible is true... challenge them to commit to what they believe... take God at His Word, and GO!

Carleigh Cate gave her life to Jesus at a young age and spent her high school years growing in the Lord through youth mission trips and AWANA. After high school she attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and received an Associate’s Degree in Theology. While in school she met Jared and the two were married in the summer of 2004.

In 2005 they started their own coffee shop and saw the Lord use that business to bring people to Christ through Bible studies, and day to day interactions. After much prayer in 2007 they sold their business and moved to England. For the next 2 years, they helped different churches establish coffee shops to use as outreach opportunities in the community, as well as helping with a church plant in King’s Lynn, England. Their home became the church meeting place numerous times a week. Carleigh and her family moved back to the United States a year ago and settled in Longmont where they began attending White Fields. She has 3 young children ages 5, 4, and 1.
