Hi, my name is 
Carey Green and I’m the Pastor here at Community Church! I appreciate your time and interest and welcome you to our site! My family and I (aren’t they the greatest!) are so happy to be a part of the CC family and would love to meet you too!
My approach to leading a church is pretty simple – love people and stick to the Bible. You’ve got to know instinctively that my family and I aren’t perfect at that, but it’s the conviction of our hearts to make it our goal. We work hard to keep that in the forefront of our message to the people we are leading too.
Throughout the course of my life, God has done some pretty amazing things. I’ve learned a lot and still have a lot to learn. I’m eager to see what He has in store for me and mine. But He’s also given me a great deal to run with – some core principles and Biblical concepts that have been etched into my soul as being of the greatest importance for the church. Maybe you can relate with them…
1. Passionate love for God…
2. Intentional and loving outreach to those outside the church…
3. The investment of our lives in making not just converts, but true disciples…
4. The serious pursuit of a devout and holy life for God’s sake.
5. Faith-filled and uncompromising obedience to God.
6. Lives of consistent authenticity and humility.
7. Lives characterized by practical wisdom in daily living.
8. Christ living powerfully through us by faith.
9. Being aware of and taking a stand against Satan and his schemes.
10. Maximization of our gifts to serve God’s church and to further God’s purposes through His church.
Though I have many different passions (marriage, parenting, raising up Godly men, etc.) – most every one comes back to one of these 10 things. They are what God has placed in me and they are what I am committed to promoting with the life that He’s given me.
If you have any questions, comments, etc. – please feel free to leave them below. I’m happy to respond.

Hi pastor Carey!! wanted to drop a line and say HI and wish you and your family the best … i miss our days at PIBC and hope your time in colorado is treating you well. i just recently moved to los angeles / oc and am struggling to find a “normal” church with less than 10000 people and a service where its not a major production
my search will continue – but i wanted to say hi and touch base. take care!!

[...] CHRISTIANS: You’ve GOT to read this post! Published September 6th, 2007 Uncategorized For some time I’ve felt a distinct stirring in my spirit to do my part, as a pastor and otherwise swell Christian guy, to draw the church back to some basics from the scriptures that I think have, in some ways, become extinct in many modern-day Christian churches. I’ve boiled these down to 10 specifics that you can read about here. [...]

Pastor Carey,
I am so very excited & gratefull that the Lord lead me to you & your church full of loving & careing people.

Fred, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation today… and am thankful and humbled that you desire to worship and serve Jesus alongside us. I’m eager to get to know you more and to have you meet more folks around the church… keep looking to the cross my brother – we need our Savior more every day!

Hello again Pastor,
I felt the need to tell you just how special I think you & your flock are.
Before talking to you & visiting your church I had become very hardned by life & assumed that all Christians just put on their act on Sunday like a suit or nice dress & then went back to their old selves during the rest of the week .
I also felt that the main driving force in everybodys life was Money & whats in it for ME !,No matter what they professed otherwise.
My heart & mind had become closed and cold.
But for some reason (I believe the Holy Spirit) over the past 3 or 4 months I have been drawn to seek a closer relation & knowledge of MY Savior & the Christian way of life.
I was lead to You & your flock and am so very thankfull for it .
I know in my heart that You & your flock are what the Lord wants for me ( I feel it),something I haven’t been able to say for years!
I know in My Heart that You & your flock are Truly Kind,Loving,Careing,Full Of Life & the Holy Spirit Christians !
At this time I am reading the book “God is closer than you think” (It’s saying a lot to me) ,just as you have !
And I am actually excited about coming to church Sunday !
Praise The Lord !!
May God Watch Over & Protect You & Your Flock !!
