What We Value

We’re not a kind of church. We’re a church of whoever is here.

Integrity

We endeavor to be true to the Life at the center of all things, the Person related to all things, Jesus.

These are some ways we are attending to that Life:

  • Sermons - Sunday messages are rooted in the Biblical story.

  • Wednesday Bible Study - every Wednesday at noon. Currently: Psalms.

  • Imagination - artists are often called upon to help us see how the Story is playing out today

  • Kids learn the Story through stories taught Sundays, and Youth on Wednesday nights.

Risk

We’re willing to take risks for the sake of love.

These are some ways we are caring for folks in our neighborhood, and beyond:

  • Support for unhoused folks — we are part of the conversation about homelessness in the city. Unhoused and previously unhoused folks are integral to our community. Strong ties with local agencies like Outreach Fort Collins.

  • Meals, practical support to folks in our congregation, and friends of the church.

  • Support for migrants — ESL, creative business ideas, friendship, and accompaniment. Always in partnership with local nonprofits and other church communities.

  • Bobby and Jenny Mihsill — working with orphans and young leaders in Côte d'Ivoire

Crucially, we don’t do any of this on our own. We partner with other churches, agencies, and the city.

Community

Our community revolves around tables. First is God’s Table, where we lift up our hearts and receive the gift of Communion. We also gather around other tables — in homes and in our building — and share joys and burdens. Everyone has a seat.

These are some ways we share life at tables:

  • potlucks

  • weekly Communion celebration

  • seasonal celebrations

Quirkiness

We could also say peculiar. It means this community doesn’t make sense if Jesus is not raised from the dead.

These are some ways we are quirky:

  • Sunday morning worship

  • A group of people committed to prayer
