Life is hard.
It's easy to look around and see so much brokenness - especially now as our communities face struggles like none we've seen before. From financial struggles and unwelcome change to health challenges and the daily grind, nothing seems to let up.
Where can you turn if life feels off? If the people you've depended on have let you down or disappeared? What can bring comfort when every new day brings only more anxiety?
Find peace. Find hope. Find life.
When life feels broken; when hope feels impossible; when the days feel long - Jesus is here. His hope is for you and for right now. At Lord of Life, we live this belief through loving our neighbors, service in our community and passion for sharing the truth of God's Word with people and children of all backgrounds.
There's a place for you at Lord of Life - no matter where you've been or where you're going.
What We Believe
What we believe and teach is rooted in God's perfect Word - The Bible.
Because we know it never changes, we know we can base our faith upon it.
God
We believe there is only one true God who is holy, eternal, and has all power and wisdom. In the Bible, God reveals himself as Triune — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18-20
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's Word. It's true and without error.
2 Timothy 3:15-16
Creation
We believe that in six days God created the heavens and the earth — and all that is in them thousands of years ago.
Genesis 1
Man & Woman
We believe that all people are special creations of God, created in God's own image.
Genesis 1:26-27
Sin
We believe that we lost the image of God when Adam & Eve gave into the temptation of Satan in the Garden of Eden. This separated us from God, unable to reconcile ourselves to him.
Genesis 3
The Gospel
We believe that the gospel is the good news that our loving God sent Jesus Christ to take away the sins of all people. Because of Jesus' perfect life and sacrificial death, we are fully and freely forgiven.
Romans 1:16-17
Jesus
We believe Jesus is God the Son, born of the virgin Mary, and that he suffered and died on the cross to pay for all of our sins.
Luke 1:26-38
Salvation
We believe Jesus rose on Easter morning, conquering death. And because he rose, so will we.
Ephesians 2:4-7
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit creates faith in our hearts through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 12:3
The Church
We believe that there is one holy, Christian church, made up of all who believe in Jesus.
Ephesians 4:3-6
Baptism
We believe that Jesus washes away sin and people of all ages become God's children through baptism.
Galatians 3:26-27
Communion
We believe God's love and forgiveness is ours through Jesus' true body and blood in the Lord's supper.
Matthew 26:26-29
Life
We believe that because of Jesus, we have a full, free, forgiven life!
John 10:10

Pastor
Adam Zimpelmann
Why does Christianity matter? Is it true? Is it important? Author C. S. Lewis once said, "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." Pastor Zimpelmann’s conviction that God offers something of infinite importance is what drew him to the ministry. His great delight in life is to be able to share this infinitely important gift that he has received from God with others.
Pastor Zimpelmann (or Pastor Z, as he is affectionately known) grew up in the Northern Wisconsin lake area where his father owned a construction company. In 2005, he began his ministry in a small town in Southeastern Wisconsin. While there, he met his wife Lindsay whom he married in 2008. God has blessed their family with three boys who keep the Zimpelmanns on the move.
In 2025, Pastor Zimpelmann began serving Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Thornton, Colorado where he enjoys walking alongside those who want to know who God is and why he is of infinite importance to their lives.
