Anthony & Diane Vartuli

Anthony has been gifted and called as a shepherd of God’s people, serving in various capacities over the past four decades: pastor, spiritual director, and hospice chaplain. For 8 years, Anthony served as a spiritual director for Dr. Larry Crabb’s School of Spiritual Direction. He now serves as a spiritual director, on a contract basis, for LargerStory Ministries founded by Larry’s son, Kep Crabb. He holds a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary, a Master of Biblical Counseling from Colorado Christian University, and a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is married to Diane who together have three adult children. Anthony and Diane reside in the Denver Colorado area.

Diane has been gifted and called in the areas of discipleship and hospitality. She served as a missionary in Moscow for 10 months discipling young college women with CRU. She has also served as a small group leader for Community Bible Study. Diane also worked as an administrative assistant to Dr. Larry Crabb. One of her highest callings was raising three children; Michael (married to Kendra), Giovanna, and Julia (married to Cy). Diane naturally moves into the lives of people who trust her and see the relational wisdom God has given her. Together with Anthony, she co-leads spiritual formation groups for couples.
