The campaign is gaining momentum! In the past week, we received nearly $400,000 in gifts and pledges. So far, 69 church families have pledged more than $2.75 million, reaching 69% of our $4 million goal. Every gift matters. If you haven’t yet pledged, please review the campaign materials and make your commitment soon. If you did not get an information packet, please email or call 303-442-1787 to let us know. Now is a powerful time to act: An anonymous donor will match new commitments received October 20 through November 13, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000! Together, we can generate $500,000 or more in impact. Let’s meet this extraordinary match with gratitude and help shape a vibrant future for our church!

Let's celebrate the fall together on Sunday with our Trunk or Treat Fall Festival! Come for an afternoon of Halloween fun featuring outdoor games, a photo booth, a bouncy house, and a pretty sweet trunk or treat station. Set-up for our Fall Fest will begin right after church, so thank you for moving your car from the west parking lot after worship. This event is open to the community, and costumes are encouraged! See you there!



Three percent of the Legacy Campaign goes to Mission and Social Justice Initiatives. Join us for a forum as the Discernment Team presents the proposals for Mission and Social Justice Initiatives being considered through the funding of the Legacy Campaign. The proposals will be presented for conversations and questions, not an on-the-spot vote. Small-groups at tables will discuss: where do we sense energy, where do we sense hesitation. Come be a part of this very important conversation.

This film is for gun owners and non-owners alike.
