Pastor Randy was born in Indiana.  He attended Florida Southern College, a United Methodist school and went to seminary at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  Somewhere in between all of this, he married Gail and they have three children.

 

Pastor Randy’s first call was to King of Kings Lutheran in Pueblo, CO. After ten years, he took a call to Glory of God Lutheran in Wheat Ridge, CO, where he learned how to live in what he thought was the biggest city he would ever live in.  After twelve years, the Mundts left for the Big Island of Hawaii, where Pastor Randy served the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona.  There he learned to love snorkeling, whale watching, and four-wheeling on lava rock.

 

From Hawaii, it was off to Vienna, Austria, where he served Vienna Community Church.  He also taught religion at the Lyceum Lutheran HS in Bratislava, Slovakia.  After Vienna, it was time to go as the interim pastor to the International Church of Copenhagen (Denmark).

 

Eight years ago, he began to serve as senior interim pastor at Tokyo Union Church in the largest city in the world (35 million). During his two years there, he fell in love with noodles and all things sushi.  Moving back to the States, he served as interim pastor at Joy Lutheran in Parker where he once again fell in love with all things Colorado.

 

Four years ago, after beginning to serve as interim pastor at First Lutheran, Longmont, Pastors Gail and Randy were suddenly asked to serve a one-year interim (because of a medical emergency) at Bratislava International Church. Putting their lives back into boxes for storage and suitcases for travel, it was back to Europe, this time living in Slovakia.

 

Once again back in the states, Pastors Gail and Randy began to serve as interim pastors to Trinity Lutheran in Ft. Collins. Pastor Gail has since become Executive Pastor at Christ Lutheran in Highlands Ranch, and Pastor Randy has been serving an interim call to Shepherd of the Hills in Canon City.

Janet started as the Director of Music Ministries at St. Philip in January of 2017.  She has been teaching music in public schools for 30 years, and is excited to be sharing her love of music and the Lord in this different and exciting way. A proud graduate of Colorado State University, Janet earned her Bachelor of Music in Education degree in 1980.  Although originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, she has lived most of her life in Colorado. Janet has been an active member of St. Philip for 32 years and has sung in the choir for all of them. When two daughters were younger, she led Sunday School music for nearly 10 years. Her late husband, C. J., often played the trombone and tambourine for worship services and fellowship functions. She adores her family and her dogs, who are all named after musicians. Sometimes the grand-dogs join the party. Working in the yard, reading, and watching the Broncos are three of her favorite activities. She would like to extend an invitation to everyone to become involved in the music ministries at St. Philip and make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
