Andy Cannon - Founding and Senior Pastor, AM Services
Andy served on staff with Bear Valley Baptist Church of Lakewood while reaching out to the poor and oppressed in Denver until the church commissioned him to plant Open Door Fellowship in 1984.  Andy has been preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ since he was 18 years old and still believes that the Christian church is critical for people to be brought “all the way through” in their relationship with God.  Andy’s passion for the people, attention to the Bible, and deep desire to seek God’s power liberating people’s lives compel him still after more than 30 years of Christian service.  Andy serves as the primary preaching pastor in both the Sunday morning services.  Andy is also a co-founder and housing director for the Providence Network and serves on several urban ministry boards and
advisory councils.
