God’s Vision for Christ Church Denver
Christ Church Denver desires to form a community of deeply committed whole-life disciples of Jesus for the world, by learning to Be With, Become Like, and Live Like Jesus.
God’s Mission for Christ Church Denver
God has blessed Christ Church Denver with a Vision to be a community of deeply committed whole-life disciples of Jesus for the world. If we are faithful to living into this Vision, we believe that in the year 2030, through the grace of God, the following points will describe the Christ Church community and our congregation will have more than doubled our 2023 size with at least 600 people worshiping at our main campus each weekend plus hundreds more joining us on line.
We will…
