Pastors
Rev. Vickie Kintzel joins Buckhorn as the part-time pastor
with extensive background in the PC(USA). Her roots are small town,
small church, ecumenical and grounded in the grace and mercy of Jesus
Christ. In 2018 she retired from active ministry to return full-time to
her home in Longmont after several transitional ministry positions
(Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Illinois).
She spent some time figuring out the next chapter of life with
her spouse of 47 years, Jay Kintzel, and did not anticipate accepting
another position (and God laughed!).
Their son’s family (wife who is a Methodist pastor, a young teen
and triplets age 10) also live in Longmont, and their daughter and
family (with step-grandboys who live near them) are east of St. Louis.
Vickie’s education was at Coe (Cedar Rapids IA, PC(USA) related
college), and San Francisco Theological Seminary in Marin County, CA.
She looks forward to working together as we strengthen the mission heart
at Buckhorn which is so apparent, into the future God is even now
building on the past. To God be the Glory, now and forever!
