Over one thousand estimated at Saturday’s church rally in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- This morning, a church rally was held at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs.

Dr. Steve Holt, the event organizer and Senior Pastor of The Road Church at Chapel Hill, brought in religious activist Sean Feucht for the gathering. Feucht held a similar rally in Fort Collins Friday evening.

The Colorado Springs rally, held at 1605 E. Pikes Peak Ave, brought in over a thousand participants for worship and prayer.

Event organizers say the prayer rally was "mask-optional." Dr. Steve Holt clarified, "We just encourage you, if you’re one who wears a mask, wear a mask. If you want to social distance, social distance. We can’t mandate that in that big of a group because it’ll certainly be a crazy time of praise and worship and prayer."

Along with Dr. Steve Holt and religious activist Sean Feucht, other leaders included:

- Al Pittman, senior pastor at Calvary Worship Center

- Todd and Kelly Hudnall, senior pastors at Radiant Church

- Dean Hawk, lead pastor at Rock Family Church

- Joseph Winger, senior pastor at Boulder Street Church

- Gabe Valle, senior pastor at Iglesia Venga Tu Reino

- Henry Allen, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference

- Brian Michaels, senior pastor at Springs Lighthouse

- John Serio, senior pastor at The Springs Journey Church

- Jeff Anderson, senior advisor for faith-based outreach for U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn
