The Knowledge of Christ

September 24, 2021

Someone once wisely stated that we don’t do things for God to be saved - rather we do things for God because we ARE saved. There’s a huge difference.  You’re listening to The Dwelling Place and pastor Al Pitman is in the early stages of a study in Colossians.  Meet us now in the first chapter as we continue with the theme of the supremacy and knowledge of Christ.

Those of you who are married, remember back to those early days of your relationship. You couldn’t wait to see each other, and perhaps talked on the phone every chance you got! The flowers, the love notes, or kind words of affirmation! Over time, for many couples, the romance and love grows cold. But that doesn’t have to happen to you!

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
