For the last four years, Pastor Alex and his wife, Margaret, have been prayerfully considering God’s call to plant a church. Growing up in a Slavic community instilled a deep sense of identity and cultural comfort, but God had different plans. He placed a desire in their hearts to reach the local community in northern Denver, Colorado, with the simple yet powerful gospel of Jesus.

They envisioned Pillar Church as a place where people could experience the life-changing presence of God, build meaningful connections, and grow together as a family.

Pastor Alex believes that church is not about individuals but about a community coming together to share life’s victories and struggles. Drawing inspiration from John Donne’s words, “No man is an island,” he sees Pillar Church as a hospital for the broken and a home for the lost.

Their mission is to reach out beyond the church walls to people of every background, race, and status, making them feel welcomed and at home. They seek God’s will, wisdom, and truth in all things, ensuring that everyone can have their transformative “#PillarMoment.”
