Our Music Director: Dean Stalnaker
Dean was raised on a dairy farm in northeast Nebraska. He always enjoyed music, and began taking piano lessons at 8. The church where he attended growing up saw the importance of allowing young people the opportunity to develop their talents in a ministry setting, and so he began to use his musical skills in that setting. He first heard an organ played as an organ should be played while he was in college. He began taking organ lessons there and grew to love the instrument. After college, he taught high school English and was an assistant organist at a church near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania for 10 years. Upon moving to Colorado in 1996, he was organist/music director at a church for nearly 10 years, and continued to study organ privately. He became the music director here in 2008. In addition to his responsibilities at Calvary, he is a paralegal at a law firm in downtown Denver.
