Rev. Erin Gilmore

Associate Conference Minister

Rev. Erin Gilmore began her new ministry with us on May 15, 2017, and was installed as Associate Conference Minister on June 9, 2017, at our Annual Celebration in Cheyenne, WY. Prior to joining us, she served as Senior Pastor of Loveland UCC in Loveland, CO, and as Senior Pastor of Holladay UCC in Holladay (Salt Lake City), Utah. Working with other Conference leaders, Rev.

Going forward, her main priority will be nurturing the vitality of our churches, especially those furthest away from the Conference Office in Denver.
