The congregation of this neighborhood church dates back to 1904. The current neo-Gothic building…read morewas constructed in 1909 with a classroom wing added in 1959. The interior and roof of the sanctuary were destroyed by a fire in 1917, so the current interior dates from the reconstruction in 1918. A very careful remodel freshened the sanctuary in 2009 and a custom A. J. Murphy pipe organ was installed at that time. The sanctuary is quite small, seating about 100 people. It has excellent acoustics with a striking, timber ceiling, and some interesting stained glass. The reredos (altarpiece) was designed by noted Denver sculptor, Arnold Ronnebeck, in 1932. The church was given historic landmark status by the City of Denver in 2004. I had the pleasure of attending a recent organ concert. The sound of the organ fitted the space perfectly and the sound was wonderful. I really enjoyed the experience. I hope the congregation will seek other opportunities for public organ concerts as this space is one of many little-known Denver treasures.

Not being particularly religious or spiritual but finding the opportunity to make additional social…read moreconnections I went to this church with my partner Steven(who is spiritual). Everyone is friendly and we have made some friends here. It is great how socially progressive the church is and is always nice to go to a church where people don't seem to judge you. The problem with this one is that there seems to be a flux of worshippers that come and go. Some people say they have issues with the church and go somewhere else. I guess that goes without saying many churches are often that way. However then the church gets its own status quo shake ups with the staff and Rev. Emily has(or wants to or is encouraged to) to quit or is encouraged to resign or whatever. Many people leave because she is gone and so on. It is sad to hear such internal politics in such a socially progressive church seems to mirror what happens in most churches. OF COURSE there are changes to be expected with church staff and people come and go but nevertheless thing ending in bad blood in this kind of setting is not becoming to the worshippers or to reputation. Time went on and my partner and I attempted to reconnect with Rev. Emily on Facebook since we were so fond of her in which we did reestablish connections for a very brief time until she severed the friend link with us. This action seems kind of hypocritical since she is still 'friends' with many other people that went to see her when she worked at this church and gave us the feel of alienation. In the end we both feel very alienated not only from the bureaucratic politics that surfaced in this progressive church and from the former pastor. Steven, my partner is still trying to fill that void that was created(despite us moving to another town as well) by the church and everything that went on there. Again since I do not get quite so into religion like he does it is not quite as upsetting to me but there is a social outlet that is clearly missing even after we have 'shopped' around at other churches. Not to say this place has become hostile to gays and lesbians anyone who wants to try this church SHOULD give it a try and I hope they leave with a better taste in their mouth.

This is a wonderful church and is full of such loving people! I was staying in Denver on the…read moreweekends taking care of three dogs after their owner passed. I belong to a small church in northern Colorado and was missing going to church while I was staying in Denver. I found this church on the internet. It was close to where I was staying so I decided to give it a try. I like smaller churches as you are not just a number but get to know all of the people you worship with every week. Fellowship is important to me. The service was very nice. Some things were traditional and a lot of things we new and refreshing. The sermon gave you something to take away with you. I was warmly welcomed and spoke to many of the members after the service. If I lived in Denver permanently, this would definitely by my new church home! Try it, you won't be disappointed!
