We Love Our Pastors!

Help Preserve Denver United's History

We're on the lookout for photos to add to our church archives.  If you have photos from small group activities, outreaches or other Denver United events, please send them to Christine Beebe at denverunitedphotos@q.com.  

Got Photos?

Do you have Denver United photos that you'd like to share? If so, please email me at denverunitedphotos@q.com.  Not only would I love to post them here for everyone to be able to enjoy, but would also like to put them into our official church archive as part of our church history.  Outreach events, fellowship activities, United Kids, worship team, small groups, and everything in between --- the more we can document, the better! Help us to keep the memories of our first year alive for years to come.

Denver United's Church Historian: Christine Beebe

Several of you who have been enjoying the weekly Love Expert series have asked that I post a profile of myself on the Chronicles website.  Here you go.  Enjoy! :o)

Christine Beebe

Originally from Selma, Alabama, I've lived in 6 states and one foreign country, but I've called Colorado Springs my hometown since 1986.

Position at Denver United: Church Historian

Ministry passion: Serving.  I love being a part of the behind-the-scenes operations of the church. 

Educational Background: Having majored in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Old Testament history and archaeology at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, I left during my senior year to follow God's call to return to Colorado in 1995.  After a hiatus in my education, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies through Thomas Edison State College's adult learning program in 2005.  I also studied for a semester as an Equine Sciences major at Colorado State University in Fort Collins and as a Biblical Studies major at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood.

Career:  For more than 13 years, I've been the Scheduling Producer for an international Christian radio broadcast based in Colorado Springs.  Previous to that, I served in the US Air Force with the 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.

Interests: I love to travel and explore new places!  Other interests include animals, zoos, history and archaeology (especially Titanic history), reading, scrapbooking, photography, blogging, Facebook, and cross-stitch.  I'm also a news junkie as evidenced by my Twitter account which follows everyone from The Weather Channel to CNN to the BBC to Al Jazeera. 

Favorite Places I've Visited: Vatican City, Rome, New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, San Diego, Germany, Costa Rica and Grand Cayman.

Favorite Movies: Titanic, Under the Tuscan Sun, A Beautiful Mind, Hurricane on the Bayou, and Ghosts of the Abyss (IMAX film on Titanic)

Favorite TV shows: Samantha Brown's Passport to... programs, Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods, Rick Steves' Europe, Mysteries at the Museum, CSI, and Law & Order: SVU

Favorite Books: Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Little known fact: I was once invited to compete on the Colorado State University rodeo team as a bull rider, but I respectfully declined. :o)
