Duane Anders is the Senior Pastor of the Cathedral of the Rockies. The Cathedral has been one of the top 100 UMC Churches in the US and is the second largest church in the Western Jurisdiction. Duane and his family were called to Boise 10 years ago after serving as the Lead Pastor of Stillwater UMC in Dayton, Ohio for 18 years. He served for seven years concurrently as a District Superintendent and Pastor in West Ohio. Duane and his wife, Cathy, have four adult children.

Stacie Ballard is the Family Life and Children’s Ministry Pastor at Cathedral of the Rockies. With over 15 years of pastoral experience serving children, youth, and their families, Stacie is passionate about partnering with families in the spiritual formation of their children and believes that faith is best nurtured in community. She is especially committed to building a vibrant village — an intergenerational network of care, belonging, and support where families feel seen, connected, and empowered. Stacie and her husband Brad are the proud parents of three kids who continually inspire her ministry with their curiosity, creativity, and joy.

Adam and his family moved to Boise in 2024 from Eugene, Oregon, where Adam served at the First United Methodist Church. Prior to that, Adam served appointments in the Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference, after attending seminary at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. Prior to discerning a call to ministry, Adam worked for the United States Senate, the US Grains Council, and received a graduate degree from Georgetown University. Adam and his wife Raymie have three children.

Irene Laudeman is the Pastor of Spiritual Formation at the Cathedral of the Rockies and joined the staff in April 2022. She is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. Irene has a passion for teaching and specifically for supporting congregants in their life-long growth as followers of Jesus Christ.
