  • THE REV’D ELIZABETH “WIB” GARFIELD

    DEACON

    As deacons in The Episcopal Church hold jobs in the secular world, Wib is employed as a paralegal specializing in civil litigation with a private practice firm in downtown Denver. Wib’s ministry focuses on seeking out those persons who have been displaced from their homes, families and community and this is lived out through the time she serves at Sacred Heart House and The Delores Project. Additionally, as Deacon, Wib works to empower and support the outreach committee, the parish, and individuals discerning their personal calls to outreach ministry by providing access to resources available for those in need beyond the walls of St. Andrew’s.

    Wib was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and grew up in Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa. She obtained a degree in political science from Iowa State University. She was ordained by Bishop O'Neill in 2007.

    In addition to the time she spends in support of her ministry in the Denver community, she loves to knit (not so much to tink), cook, read, and spend time walking and playing with her dog Mabel.

  • SCOTT COULTER

    MINISTER OF FORMATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

He was also deeply involved in music from a young age, and earned his Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano at the New England Conservatory of Music.

    Scott joined the Episcopal Church in his mid-30’s.

He undertook spiritual direction, and recently completed the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius through the Office of Ignatian Spirituality. It is this deeply holistic sense of spiritual exploration that Scott brings to the position of Minister of Formation and Community Engagement.
