Brandon & Octavia Cormier
Zeal Lead Pastors
Rooted in a deep sense of Southern hospitality and over 13 years of diverse ministry experience, Brandon and Octavia Cormier have dedicated their lives to fostering authentic community and spiritual transformation. Their journey—spanning from mission work in India to high-level leadership in Louisiana, Arizona, and Colorado—combines Brandon’s theological expertise and passion for prayer movements with Octavia’s integration of psychological health and spiritual freedom. Driven by a supernatural love for Colorado Springs, the couple followed a divine calling to launch Zeal Church on September 13, 2020. Today, the church serves as a thriving, Spirit-empowered hub where over 1,000 people gather weekly to discover their purpose and experience the life-giving presence of God.
