I can't say that I've ever been to a church that is more genuine and welcoming than Scum. The evening service starts off with a time of worship, followed by a community meal, and then onto the teaching segment. The worship band is never "flashy", which adds to the charm and humble nature of this church. Pastor Mike's teaching is from the heart and is easy to understand. Scum's church building is at 9th and Kalamath. It is from the late 1800's and was shut down by Denver's code enforcement. Scum isn't having financial problems as the other reviewer mentioned; but when the city closes your doors after being in a building for a couple of years, then there is a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars to reopen those doors - yes, there will be some need for donations. Currently services are being held at other locations in Denver. In fact the money that churchgoers give regularly is invested back into the community in the form of homeless outreach, and other neighborhood projects. The staff raises their own support. Like I said at the outset, I love Scum. Every week I drive an hour to attend!

I attended this church hoping to find clarity, guidance, and a deeper connection with God, but I…read moreleft feeling more confused than when I walked in. One of the biggest challenges for me is reconciling the words preached with the outcomes I continue to see. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes humility, truth, service, and care for others. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:16, "You will recognize them by their fruits." The question people naturally ask is: what fruits are being produced? If people consistently come seeking answers and leave spiritually exhausted, confused, or disconnected, that deserves reflection. Jesus also spoke strongly against religious leaders who became focused on appearance and authority while neglecting deeper responsibilities. In Matthew 23, He criticized leaders who placed burdens on others while failing to embody the values they taught. Reading those passages, I could not help but think about how many people today struggle with organized religion because they feel they are hearing polished words but not experiencing genuine spiritual care. Beyond my experience here, there is also the unavoidable reality that the Catholic Church as an institution has carried devastating scandals throughout history, including cases of abuse and cover-ups that shattered trust for countless people. I am not saying this church participated in those events, but pretending that history does not affect people's perceptions would be dishonest. Many people walk into Catholic churches carrying those questions and wounds with them. For me, the experience felt emotionally distant and spiritually empty. I came hoping for understanding and left feeling as if I had received more ritual than substance. James 3:1 reminds teachers that they "will be judged more strictly," and spiritual leadership carries a responsibility beyond simply delivering sermons. People do not come to church because they want a performance. They come because they are hurting, searching, and hoping for truth. Others may have had a different experience, but mine left me asking whether the institution has become too focused on preserving itself and not focused enough on helping people truly grow in faith and understanding. If you ever happen to go here, I want you to do what I do - read the subconscious cues. I specifically went to this church to test them. I specifically went to see how they responded to other denominations - the lead pastor laughed when I said I switched to a Baptist/non-denominational church when I was 13; he laughed as a mockery to them. If you truly look at a good faith, Christian church, they will not go against others who have the same beliefs as they do (no matter how small the differences may be).

He incorporates history, art, and poetry into the sermons, which makes it interesting.

I have been going to NDC for 8 years now and love the church even more today. The community of people we have is accepting, friendly, inclusive, and I have made many friends because of NDC. The pastors are amazing and the sermons are usually relevant to my life. There are so many ways to be involved- through womens and mens events, volunteering, discipleship groups (small groups), and more. This will be my church home as long as I call Denver home!

For an inclusive church DCC behaves as an exclusive club with little tolerance for different views,…read moreeven those views still very much in the mainstream. As an organization DCC is top heavy. Too many "cooks in the kitchen" for the size of the congregation that often don't know or seem to care what the others are doing. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and I have attended many inspirational Bible teaching churches. The sermons at DCC are not inspirational and do not include in depth Biblical teaching. Even the congregation seems uninspired and appears to leave the Sunday morning service with little or no enthusiasm to reach the people of Denver outside of their building with the message of salvation. Churches like DCC have become obsolete and out of touch with the plight of so many people in need just blocks from their church building. I choose to attend a church more in touch with the basic needs of the people of Denver as an instrument of God here on earth. Tom Dammer

I have been meaning to write a review for DCC for awhile. It seems weird to write a review about a…read morechurch, but what a great place to find some insight if you are looking for a new place to spend your Sundays. Denver Community Church has been my place of peace each week for almost two years now. I grew up in church and attended youth group but kind of fell away from the weekly grind in college. At a time in my life when I was searching for a little structure, as well as a place that would except my open-mindedness. I came across this place. I actually searched the internet... So I can only hope my review will pop up for another searcher like myself. Overall, DCC has a great ambiance. I felt welcome the first day I walked in. People are friendly and will be inviting if you want to be invited, and will leave you to yourself if you do so wish. It is kind of a church where you get what you put in. They have plenty of opportunity to volunteer, participate in services and helping out in misc positions if that is what you are looking for. They cater to both an older crowd, families and young folk. I feel there is a majority of younger families and young professionals in their 20's to 30's. They have a great worship team that is always changing. In fact there are a couple so you will never get tired of the music. And of course Michael the pastor has an unforgettable message each week. He does not do the typical feel good, daily devotional type read.... He is a scholar and makes ou think. Each week is a lesson. He does not lay things out in a clear message; you have to go home and think about things and actually apply it to your life to really let things sink in. I feel like it is very educational. Plus he is young, relatable, and hilarious. I hope that anyone looking for a church tries this place out! It is a place i feel comfortable and am excited to share with others. Services are at 8:30, 10, and 11:30 so you have plenty of options! :) ENJOY!

He said jesus told him we were not meant to be together. What a convenient message and great timing since he had promised to take care of me through a scheduled operation the very next day! A few weeks later, another member called to ask me how I was doing to check up on me "post baptism" and I said well not great; I asked to be placed in a small group and they proceeded to shun me, no communication or answers to my emails and texts. I did receive one more call from a man telling me when I could attend church, since the person who I was dating attended at xyz time and abc time, then I should go exactly at "def" time. I said Wow so you are calling me post-baptism to dictate to me when I should attend? Do you have any other questions or comments for me, Mister post baptism helper person? No, he did not. I'm one of the first people baptised in their new location at Washington Park, in the flowered outfit. Pretty swanky location for a non profit. If you visit the website, the first place to click is "donate". Also, they mention simple church which good luck if you get a response from anyone for that; it did not ever work for me. As others have mentioned, this is not a thinking person's place to congregate. I have two undergraduate degrees, a master's degree, and a professional license. The singing and shiny happy people are welcoming at the onset, but if you dare speak up, question their practices, or have differing opinions, then you just might be an outcast and pushed away, as I have been.

Definition of commercial Christianity unfortunately.
