How Colorado Springs became the center of America’s evangelical political power
Colorado Springs didn’t just host America’s evangelical movement. It helped define it. That’s the conclusion historian William Schultz reaches in his book, “Jesus Springs: Evangelical Capitalism and the Fate of an American City.” Schultz traces how faith, power and place converged in one city, and how that convergence reshaped American evangelicalism far beyond Colorado.

Rev. Lee Ann Bryce, lead minister at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Colorado Springs, said the fatal shooting of a woman who “showed up to bear witness and, in a moment of moral urgency, used her vehicle to block enforcement activity” is not about one tragic death. “It is about the kind of country we are becoming, and the kind of people we are willing to be,” she said at the rally. “Blocking with a vehicle is not a capital offense. Civil resistance is not a death sentence. And when nonviolent intervention is met with lethal force, something has gone deeply wrong. Demanding accountability is not anti-law. Insisting on human dignity is not radical. What is radical is the idea that some lives can be erased without consequence,” she added.

September 12, 2025: KKTV reported: Two Colorado Springs teachers have reportedly been placed on administrative leave after allegedly making comments about Charlie Kirk’s death. On Friday, a spokesperson with District 49 confirmed that two D49 staff members at The Campus--which includes Springs Studio for Academic Excellence and Pikes Peak Early College--were put on administrative leave after reported comments that “indicated approval” of the murder of Charlie Kirk. The following statement was shared with parents: “Campus Families - We are actively investigating reports that two of our staff members may have reacted to the news of the assassination of Charlie Kirk in ways that indicated approval of that action. We do not condone this kind of behavior, particularly in the presence of students. Leaders at The Campus, the Sand Creek Zone, and District 49 take every report like this one very seriously. Behaviors like those described are a clear violation of the expectations we have for everyone associated with the District. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. At this time, the staff involved have been placed on administrative leave while we continue to review the matter. Because these issues are an ongoing personnel matter, we will not provide further information or comments. As always, we thank you for your trust and understanding.
December 5, 2025: Catholic news Agency reported: After receiving a letter of excommunication from the Vatican, the leader of a schismatic group in Colorado Springs told congregants he would ignore it — furthering the divide between the small splinter group and the Catholic Church. Anthony Ward heads the Servants of the Holy Family, a group that labels itself as Catholic in spite of the Diocese of Colorado Springs’ declaration that the group is schismatic. In a 40-minute speech to his congregation in which he called Church authorities “a kangaroo court” of “heretics” and “freemasons,” Ward went public on Nov. 16 about his excommunication and his plans to continue ignoring the Catholic Church’s directives.
