Pastor Angie Dornisch (she/her) is a compassionate and charismatic leader with a servant’s heart for Jesus and a deep love for people. She was appointed to serve Heart of Longmont United Methodist Church starting July 1, 2025 and is thrilled to see what God has in store for the church in the days, months, and years ahead. Born and raised in Greeley, Colorado, Angie’s move to the Longmont area feels like coming home.

Angie is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and earned her Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary in 2016. Before seminary, she studied at the University of Northern Colorado. She brings more than sixteen years of experience working in churches and nonprofits, with a passion for creating welcoming, justice-centered communities of faith.

Her heart for mission has taken her on over twenty-five service trips around the world, including a year-long journey with the World Race in 2011. She’s served in orphanages, built homes, and partnered with congregations in countries such as the Philippines, Guatemala, and Uganda. While attending seminary, she was the resident program director at Streets Hope, a Denver-based safe house for women who have experienced human trafficking.

In addition to her pastoral ministry, Pastor Angie is deeply committed to justice and mercy work. For the past five years, Angie served as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children in foster care, advocating for their safety and well-being in the courtroom.

Outside of ministry, Angie enjoys gardening, going to the gym, traveling, watching movies, doing embroidery, putting together puzzles, hiking, and frequenting local coffee shops. She and her husband, Russ, have been married for six years and share their home with their beloved rescue dog, Cooper, a German Shepherd–Rottweiler mix. Angie is always happy to connect over a cup of coffee—or a beer—and loves all the ways Heart of Longmont UMC serves as a source of love, community, and transformation.
