Pastors & Leaders

Dan Crosby

Founding Pastor (1965 - 2021)

Daniel Crosby attended Bible school at Victory Bible Institute in Tulsa, OK, in 1985 and received hands-on experience at Victory Christian Center.  Feeling called to the local church, he was asked to be an associate pastor at a 1,200 member church in Northwest Indiana.  He graduated from Regent University with a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership. In 2014, he planted Fuel Church alongside of his loving wife, son, and daughter.  In August of 2021, Dan passed suddenly.  While he may no longer be physically present with us, we still believe the call he answered from God is still relevant to us today.. to ignite the nations of the world and the local church with God's love.

Jerrell Sarmiento

Associate Pastor

Unorthodox, to put it all in one word, nothing about Jerrell’s journey has been traditional or normal and that’s the way he likes it! Jerrell came to know the Lord in 2006, and he has never looked back. Jerrell cut his teeth in ministry serving with Harvest Christian Center (HCC) in Redwood City, California and later graduated from TeenMania’s Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas. He returned from the Honor Academy with his soon-to-be wife, Rachel, to lead youth ministry with HCC. In 2013, Jerrell and Rachel made their way to Monument, Colorado to help plant Fuel Church with the Crosby Family. Since then, Jerrell has been a part of several local and international ministries. He and his family love missions and the local church. Together, they serve alongside Fuel Church as leader and an armor bearer. Jerrell and Rachel have two wild and beautiful children Kalvari and Evalyse. They look forward to what’s ahead and they welcome you to be a part of their adventure.

Worship Minister

Stewart & Millie Lieberman

Associate Pastors

Stewart and Millie heard God’s call into ministry over 36 years ago. In their journey, The Lord has led them to minister in over 40 nations, with a passion to see people set free from bondage and released into their destiny and calling as lovers of God and His children sent into a fallen world fully equipped!  They have a call to reach the community and the nations through prophetic teaching, discipleship, encouragement and service. Before arriving in Denver to join the staff of an inner city church and help start a congregation, they lived in Israel, where they came along side to serve by helping to co-pastor a Hebrew speaking Messianic Jewish congregation in Tel Aviv. They have a heart for the people of God to experience His presence, embrace a Biblical understanding of the scriptures from a Jewish perspective, a Biblical worldview of Israel and its significance and relevance for today. They desire all people, Jew and non-Jew come to know the Messiah! (Romans 1:16)
