Leadership

MJ is excited to have served the First Pres family since 2004. Her passions in ministry are in worship leadership and family ministry, and she loves a good potluck (maybe too much!). Her husband Chris Ludwig teaches science at Pueblo County High School, and they have two adult children, Eleanor and Karl. MJ stays active in the community through the Ministerial Association, Fire Department chaplaincy, and Rotary Club. She has recently retired from Otero College, where she taught philosophy and ethics for 16 years.  She still serves as an instructor for ECO's Flourish Institute of Theology.

Aricka has been a member of the church her entire life. She is a loving mother of one daughter along with her husband. They love the outdoors and family time.

Dean is the organist for the church and for many years was a music teacher at Washington Primary School in Rocky Ford. He is active in many musical events throughout the valley including Picketwire Players productions, Grand Theatre productions, and is the director for the OJC Student and Community Choir.
