Team Member Profile - Rich Obrecht

Rich Obrecht has been married to Christel since 1986, and has three lovely daughters, Hannah, Rebecca and Moriah.  They have lived in the Denver area since they were married, but have visited such wonderful places as Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon, and the Czech Republic to name a few.
Rich’s hobbies, at this point, involve collecting and reading books as well as anything (yes, anything!) to do with aviation.  The particular genres of books that Rich enjoys are anything relating to history (both fictional and actual) as well as relevant religious themes, particularly church history and theology.

Rich has been a member of Cherry Hills Community Church since 1998, and has been a member of the church choir since 1999 (or thereabouts).  Prior to this membership (both in the Choir and the church), when the church he was attending had a choir, he was a member.  Rich has thoroughly enjoys his experience in the current choir, and always looks forward to the interaction with the other members at every activity.

In the fall of 2009, after a missions trip with the Choir at church to the Czech Republic and Israel, Rich enrolled in Denver Seminary to pursue a Masters of Divinity, with an emphasis in Youth and Family.  However, recently, Rich felt compelled to change his emphasis to Intercultural Ministries due to the impressions from his missions trips over the previous 2-3 years.

Rich is excited to head to Czech again this year and work in the Fusion camp with Milan Szturc and Terry English!
