Welcome to Our Faith Community

We understand how intimidating it can be to visit a new faith community. Entering a church shouldn't be difficult, but for countless reasons, it often is. Here’s what you can expect if you decide to join us in worship.

Upon entering, you'll receive a program (often referred to as a "bulletin") outlining the order of service for the morning. For those unfamiliar with structured liturgy, the term simply means "the work of the people." Liturgy invites us to actively engage in worship rather than simply observing, consuming or critiquing as we often do by default.

Our primary goal in gathering for worship is for you to encounter Christ, whom we celebrate together. While we may also entertain, educate, socialize, or inspire, our foremost purpose is to worship God. Worship encourages us to shift our focus from the challenges in our lives and the world around us to the goodness, truth, and beauty of God and the kingdom of love He is building.

As you participate in the liturgy, you’ll notice moments when the leader invites everyone to read, sing, or pause for silent prayer together. These rhythms are spiritual practices that shape us into people who can "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God" (Micah 6:8). We can think of our weekly worship as a spiritual gymnasium for our souls. Through our collective worship, the blessings we receive flow from our offering of ourselves to God.

Worship is a shared journey where our involvement opens the door to meaningful encounters with the Divine. We look forward to welcoming you!

Messages

At City Church Denver, our teaching is an opportunity to be nourished by the ancient scriptures. It’s not about the authority or eloquence of the minister, but about the transformative power of the Holy Spirit working in the hearts and minds of those listening. We believe the Spirit speaks to all people, and our Sunday morning messages are a chance to encounter God’s Word in a personal way.

Sermons & Series

Children

At City Church Denver, we believe that children can genuinely know God and should be encouraged to come to church and worship alongside the community from a young age. While they may not fully grasp every aspect of the service, children often absorb more than we realize. We also understand that many parents appreciate having childcare assistance during worship, and we offer that support to ensure a nurturing environment for all. Our approach includes birth-5 year old nursery all morning, and elementary & youth group ministry during the sermon portion of the service. Families start out the morning by singing together, and then the kids age K-5th & 6th-12th are dismissed to their own ministry area after the children's sermon portion of the service, rejoining their families again during communion and final song. During the last song each Sunday, all the children are invited to come to the front to sing, dance, wave ribbons and join the band with cymbals and tambourines. Consider it our joyful sending song for the week ahead!
