"Whaling" Scam Alert

Beware of Fake Emails!


Churches have become regular targets of "whaling" scammers trying to take advantage of the generosity of religious communities by sending fraudulent communications from the church's ministers, or "big fish." Please be aware that neither Rev. Matt nor any member of the staff of St. Michael's will ever solicit for gift cards or other direct financial help via email or text. Do not click any links, open any attachment, or respond to any suspicious email. When in doubt, call the church office at 719-598-3244.

Newcomers Class

Sunday, August 20, 9:15 AM


Our three rotating "Get Connected" Newcomers classes will resume in August on the third Sunday of each month.

This class is designed for newcomers, but all are welcome and no RSVP is needed. Contact Linda at Linda@stmikeschurch.com with any questions.
