Leadership

Kurt arrived at Redemption Fellowship (then Hope Chapel) in 1997, and quickly serving as a part of the worship team. In 2000, he moved back to his hometown of Chicago, and then in 2003, Kurt & Sheila were married, and he attended seminary at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In 2006 the Aichele's returned to Colorado Springs to partner in re-planting this church. By God's grace, they have been blessed with five children. Kurt is co-vocational - also serving as the Executive Director for The Story of Scripture program at Dallas Theological Seminary. Kurt and Sheila's desire is to continue growing in the calling God has placed on their lives.

Wolf and his wife Jenny were married in 2009 and moved to Colorado Springs in 2014 after Wolf accepted an engineering position here. They began attending Redemption Fellowship (then Hope Chapel) regularly in the fall of that year. Wolf had served on the worship team and with the men's ministry at their previous church in Pennsylvania for several years and soon began participating in those ministries as well. Some years later, he was trained for and began leading a Care Group. He was eventually asked to prepare a sermon for the summer campout and later went through the Elder Candidacy program before accepting a call as an Elder/Pastor in December of 2019 where he faithfully served for nearly 5 years. In the Fall of 2024, the  elders provided a break from actively serving to care specifically for growing family needs. Wolf's desire is to see Believers grow into Ambassadors for Christ in heart, word, and deed.

Bill and Lynn moved to Colorado Springs in 1980, where they came to faith in Christ. Bill has been involved in various ministries since the beginning. They served in three growing churches in town, helping to plant one of them, before coming to Redemption Fellowship (then Hope Chapel) in 2006. Bill said it felt like “coming home.” He became an elder in 2007, filling in wherever needed. Lynn served in the office, in an administrative role. They’ve been faithful companions and co-workers for nearly fifty years. They have two grown children, and three grandchildren, two of whom have graduated college. Bill’s vision has been to create a reproducible model for a community of believers who are enthusiastic in their worship, grounded in their doctrine, and warm in their fellowship – that they might serve Christ with excellence and joy.
