Serve the City
City Church Denver seeks to minister to our city in practical ways. This list of organizations describes some of the ways that our church and members are being equipped and mobilized to serve our city, state, and nation. Most of these organizations have City Church members serving as volunteers and/or staff and some are supported financially from our budget. Many have had our Community Groups come serve in larger capacities as well.
Please take time to visit our partners’ websites for more detailed information about who they are, what they do, and specific service and giving opportunities for yourself or a group. Please let them know you’re with City Church Denver so they can better connect you with opportunities and others serving from our community. Further questions about City Church Denver Missions? Contact the Missions Team.
One way City Church can support our missions partners is through the radical act of prayer. If you’d like to receive a monthly email listing the prayer needs of our partners fill out the information below.

Description: Street’s Hope is a faith-based, non-profit organization created to assist women desiring to leave sexually oriented businesses such as prostitution, escort services, exotic dancing, and pornography.

A transitional housing facility along with non-resident programs offer recovery groups, counseling, education, life skills, case management, mentoring, shelter, food, and clothing.
Service Opportunities: Women volunteers are needed to mentor participants as well as assist mentors (training is provided and mentors can set their own level of participation). This includes teaching life skills classes or leading a Bible study. Volunteers, male or female, are also needed to help run the fundraising events, do home maintenance projects, grounds and vehicle maintenance, prepare meals for the House Dinners, and plan/host events and parties.
