Who we are

Rev. Douglas K. Bleyle

received his M. Div. from Iliff School of Theology 2006 and a Th. M. from Candler School of Theology 2008. Doug loves responding to the common question, ‘where did you live growing up,’ with ‘in the Church,’ as he comes from a family of four ordained United Methodist ministers including his father. Prior to finally accepting the call to serve in ministry he worked as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 15 years in a private clinic in Denver, Colorado. Going into Seminary at Iliff he encountered the Anglican Studies seminarians and has never looked back. Doug has been involved in various ministries in the Episcopal Church including camp, indigenous ministries, COM, urban and rural mission/parish ministry. His last charge was Rector St. Barnabas of the Valley Cortez and as of July 1, 2025 is serving as Priest-in-Charge of the newly formed SJC Partnership of St. John Chrysostom and St. Joseph.
