Who is Jim Burgen?

Jim Burgen is the senior pastor at Flatirons Community Church, a non-denominational evangelical megachurch in Lafayette, Colorado, a northern suburb of Denver, Colorado, USA.

Burgen is a graduate of Milligan College and a youth ministry veteran. He was road pastor to Christian bands Audio Adrenaline and the O.C. Supertones, and then director of student ministries at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He next became associate pastor at Southland Christian Church, Lexington, Kentucky before coming to Flatirons. He attributes the church’s huge growth since being founded to its avoiding the "weirdness of religion" and instead providing a place to heal. He says Flatirons identifies with all people, whoever they are and whatever problems they have, and offers an unconditionally loving and safe place. A favorite phrase when discussing problems is "me too".
