About recalibrate

OUR MISSION

Our Mission is to passionately pursue the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, individually and as a family.
We are called to partner with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in bringing Heaven’s Culture to earth. “Let His Kingdom come, Let His will be done, here on earth just as it is in Heaven”.
We want to see ALL believers empowered and activated to live an unhidden life before God and this family for complete transformation into the likeness of Christ.
We are raising up an army: Men, Women, and Children doing the works of the Kingdom; destroying the works of the enemy, and giving Jesus what He paid for.
We are pursuing total freedom in Christ as beloved sons and daughters of Christ; to partner with God in all He has called us to Be and empowered us to Do!
We believe the kingdom works just as Jesus life revealed.

Ephesians. 4:12 | Isaiah 61 | Matthew 6:10

Personal Background
Born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, Justin grew up in church and experienced revival from a young age.  He’s had many personal encounters with God that definitely left their mark.  He was saved at 4 and baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit at 7.  At 14 he had a profound encounter with God at the Brownsville Revival where he was slain in the Spirit for a long time and God gave him his call to ministry through a vision in this encounter.  That same year his parents moved to Bayfield, CO.  and he has lived in this area on and off since 1996.
Family Life
Justin married Kristy Gingerich in 2008 and they have 5 amazing kids together. In order there’s Amelia, Zoe, Justice, & the twins: Zeal and Abigail.

For people to personally encounter their savior, redeemer, comforter, and father and come into relationship with the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  For people to discover and walk in their identity as children of God.  Justin is a builder and his mission is to lay the foundation of Jesus Christ and to partner with God to release His justice and righteousness to the ends of the earth so that Jesus gets what He already paid for.

Taylor Rose Aguilera

Taylor Aguilera

Seeds Nursery Director / Media Manager / Church Admin

About Me
I’m blessed beyond words to be married and a mom to three amazing sons. Born in California, I spent my high school years in Colorado before heading back to California—but God’s plan brought me back to Colorado in 2020. From the moment I stepped into Recalibrate Church in 2020, I knew I had found something special. This church community has been a profound gift in my life!
Family and Creativity
As a homeschool mom, I thrive on creativity—whether I’m baking fresh bread, flipping furniture, or diving into any hands-on project that sparks joy. My life is a tapestry of family moments and creative endeavors that keep me energized and fulfilled.
Worship and Ministry
I’m honored to co-lead worship with my husband, lifting our voices and hearts to the Lord together with our church family. Children’s Ministry ignites my passion like nothing else. There’s something so powerful about sharing the simple, transformative message of the Gospel with little ones and watching God work in their hearts. It’s a true privilege to witness their faith bloom. I’m grateful to serve in our church’s media and Admin roles. For me, it’s not just a task—it’s a creative outlet and an opportunity to pour into the body of Christ in meaningful ways.
