Executive Pastor
Becca Knudsen
Becca Knudsen serves as the Executive Pastor for the Arvada Vineyard. Knowing every staff role, she creates timelines and plans that hold the whole structure together and she feels most at home when she cues others to play their part and shine. Becca has helped to establish structure and culture in our church which creates space for our staff to operate from a deeper place of peace and margin. Becca and Chris also planted one of our neighborhood churches, the Northwest Vineyard in 2016.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Becca moved to Colorado in 2005 to pursue a Master’s in Music at the University of Colorado. While finishing her Masters, she realized and embraced her desire to do ministry. Her education in classical music has equipped her to hold the tension of planning, executing, and being disciplined all while creating a beautiful work of art. This translates into ministry better than she ever could have imagined when applied to the intentionality required to lead teams and people, while also pulling out of them the beauty that God designed.
Becca and her husband Chris, whom she met in middle school, were married in 2004. They have two children, Eloise and Soren. In her free time, you might be able to convince her to belt out a little opera, catch her reading a book, lifting weights or spending time with her family and friends.
