Join us for Worship every Sunday at 9:30am
During the week, our members and friends can be found scattered throughout the Denver metro area. Every Sunday morning we gather together at 9:30am, in our building on the corner of Emerson and Colorado in Denver's Platt Park neighborhood. We come from all walks of life--we are young and old and middle aged: educators, chaplains, hard hats, business people and unemployed, married and single and divorced, full of faith and full of doubts and sometimes full of both. Whether we are together or apart, in our church building (built in 1908) or in our homes, schools, neighborhoods or workplaces, our prayer is that we be a family of God, living our faith and growing by joyfully surrendering to Jesus, freely sharing our lives and humbly embracing the hurting. We would love to have you join our family as we seek to live this life together!
Today, just like in New Testament times, Christians are persecuted all around the world for following Jesus. Currently, 1 in 12 believers experience hostility as a result…

Sewing for God's people
The Sew & Sews group meets faithfully every other Thursday to design and sew for critical causes. In 2019, Sew & Sews received the Governor's service award for Newborns in Need at Denver Health, providing:
62 Nursing Cover-ups
66 Receiving blankets
54 Sleep Sacks
14 Baby buntings
God has called each of us to practice Hebrews 13:3, “Remember your fellow believers in prison as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.” We humbly come alongside persecuted believers and lift them up to God through fervent prayer. We also share our lives with them by writing letters of encouragement, supplying Bibles and Christian resources, and meeting some of their physical, medical and practical needs through ministries such as Open Doors USA and Voice of the Martyrs. An unexpected blessing of this Prayer Group has been the way God has worked to allow us to care for and support one another. We have welcomed many new members over the years and would love to have more people join us the second Monday of each month at 9:15am in room 12.
Spiritual gifts: I Corinthians 12:4-11:
"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good..."
