| top | Charlie Sturgis -- Facilities Manager Hello, I am Charlie Sturgis. The Lord has truly blessed me and my family by bringing us to this place of service for Him. I retired from the US Air Force after 23 years, knowing the Lord had even greater things in store for my family by serving Him in full time Christian Ministry . My wonderful wife, Beverly is very happy about our work here at Spring Canyon . We have three children. Our oldest, Katie, is married (to Brian Todd) living in Colorado Springs with their son, our wonderful grandson, James. Anna and Nathan are now both attending college. My testimony is very simple. I became a child of God by accepting His grace as a teenager, and have been blessed by the Lord ever since. I have found the Lord faithful and true. As the Psalmist tells us, "He will carry you through"! Seeing the opportunities here to reach others for our Lord, to serve as the Facilities Manager, to relate to the military families, and take our witness to all who come here, or see us in the community, brings a smile to our hearts each and every day. Because of His grace and love Serving our Lord -- Charlie and the Sturgis Family | top |
Dorothy Archie - Food Service Manager
Hi, my name is Dorothy (Dot) Archie. I live in Buena Vista and I have been working at Spring Canyon since around 1996, starting with Tom Hemingway. Thanks to the Lord, who has saved me, loves me and lets me serve Him. I am a Great-grandmother now with a whole lot of loving family! When I'm not working I love to spend time landscaping, remodeling my home, and exercising. Stop by the kitchen and say "hi" whenever you're here.
