Local Outreach

We build life-transforming relationships to take the Gospel from our own backyard to the nations.

DARE TO CARE

"Dare to Care" out-serving Saturdays are quarterly events where we come together as a church to love our community through strategic service projects and outreach efforts. Participating in a Dare to Care event is an incredible way to meet new people, give back to the community around us, and "wash the feet" of our city! All Dare to Care events have at least one kid-friendly project or outreach.

Freedom in Christ  Jail Ministry

Dedicated to those behind bars, we pray for Christ to enter the hearts of those mentored and served by our ministry that He may guide their lives going forward. Freedom in Christ focuses on meeting the needs of current inmates and released individuals by:
 • Encouraging those incarcerated to grow in their relationship with the Lord
 • Bringing the hope of Christ through worship and Bible study
 • Helping reduce recidivism

Worship Ministry

We provide worship services at three detention centers in Colorado. The study topic is Jesus Came.

Women's Ministry

The true heart of this ministry is to reflect God’s love, acceptance, and forgiveness to incarcerated and recently released women through sharing the Gospel of Christ.
There are three main ways we reach out to these women:
  • One-on-One Mentoring – volunteers engage in one-on-one mentoring sessions for a period of up to one year
  • Weekly Bible study at the Denver County Jail
  • Correspondence Team – volunteers consistently send inspirational and encouraging notes to the sisters inside, reminding them of Christ’s love for them

After Care Ministry

This ministry is in development. Designed to help those released from incarceration, we provide support to them in spiritual and practical ways. While our culture focuses on rehabilitation, we believe the Word of God has the ability to spur inner transformation, which leads to lasting change.

Youth Ministry

Many young men come from broken and dysfunctional homes with little to no positive, adult guidance. When separated from their families, many of these young men feel forgotten. Our team is blessed with the opportunity to contribute to the spiritual growth and development of these young men by teaching them about Christ and the love of God.
