Pastor Rev. Nic Leither
Pastor Nic started at St. Mark's in June 2020. He first felt pulled into ministry in the Lutheran Church after graduating from college in Northwest Iowa. Because of his interests in social justice and interfaith dialogue, he enrolled in seminary at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver and graduated from there in 2019.
He is married to Tamara Smith and they have a little dog named Burley. He enjoys baking, cooking, fishing, tracking down new music, and gardening.
He hopes you find that St. Marks is as welcoming of a place as it has been to him, and invites you to write him an email to get a cup of coffee sometime soon.

Stephen Geisler, Music & worship lead
Stephen joined St. Mark's Lutheran in February of 2022. He comes to St. Mark's with a wealth of music experiences from both inside and outside the Church. Originally from Colorado, he grew up in Littleton in a very musical family and fell in love with music early on. He started playing piano when he was 5, and has been picking up instruments along the way ever since.
His undergrad is from Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool, UK where he studied contemporary music. Since then, I has worked as a self-employed musician, and I currently lives in Denver.
When he isn't working on Music, he likes hanging out with friends, and sampling local food trucks to his great delight.
He looks forward to growing and developing the music program here at St. Mark's and welcomes people from all skill levels and experience to get involved.
