Our Leadership

Provisional Elder

David Zeleznikar

David and his family came to Granby Baptist Church shortly after the COVID pandemic. David has had a passion for the Lord since he was a small boy going to Sunday school and church with his family in Leadville. The Lord saved David at a young age and the day after he was baptized, the church was set on fire. Upon returning to the rubble, he found an untouched clean white cloth the pastor used to cover his face at his baptism the day before. David knew the Lord was with him.

He has always had a passion for helping others. He served the church as deacon for several years, and is currently serving as provisional elder.

David his wife live on a micro ranch between Granby and Grand Lake with their youngest son Jacob.  Their oldest son, Adam, visits often.  They raise chickens and goats. In his free time, David enjoys studying the Bible, spending time in the auto shop with his sons, working on trucks, and enjoying the beauty of God's creation around him.
