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!

I initially visited this church about a month ago after researching churches in my area, and at…read morefirst it seemed like a place that aligned with what I was looking for spiritually. I was interested in becoming baptized here, attended the baptism class, and had conversations with the lead pastor and a deacon about my personal story. I also spoke with Drew, the leader of the men's group, and was open and honest with them about my background. After writing my baptism speech and preparing to share my testimony with the church, I was informed shortly after my conversation with Drew that they would not baptize me because of my past. This was extremely disappointing, especially after I had already received encouragement and approval from members of the pastoral team and had invested time preparing for this step. What concerned me most was the way the situation was handled. When I expressed that I would seek baptism elsewhere, I was told that anyone who would baptize me would be "ungodly" and, in Drew's words, "crazy." That response felt judgmental and inconsistent with the grace, forgiveness, and acceptance I believe a church should represent. I also came to feel that personal information shared in confidence was not handled with the level of care and discretion I expected from a church community. I originally came here looking for genuine fellowship and spiritual growth, but my experience left me feeling hurt and disappointed. I would encourage anyone searching for a church to carefully consider whether this is the type of environment where they feel they can be open, accepted, and supported.

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.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Annual Bazaar -…read more Of course I'm gonna give this event 4 stars !! It's not only a Denver annual event, but a North Denver Annual community gathering of family and friends - Although there are a few Catholic Churches that put on this event in north Denver, this has always been my favorite- It's about raising money for the church through eating authentic Italian Foods, taking home a salami won from the raffle, the bingo hall, kiddie rides, and (of course) drinking beer and wine- It's also about watching the same Italians running it exactly like the first year, (80 something years ago- ) Best part why this is my favorite is because although there are massive new residents in highlands (North Denver ) it did not take out the authenticity or charm of the old days when I was brought to my here to my first bazaar -

This East Highlands Italian church is right smack in the Italian quarter of Denver and has a long history with the neighborhood. This yearly event that the church puts on pulls in a HUGE crowd of attendants, and since I live down the street, I can honestly tell you there was well over 1,000 people there when I did a walk through. This is on one neighborhood block mind you. How does a church fair pull in so many people... You never read or hear about this event on the news, so how do you ask, how does the church have thousands and thousands of feast visitors year after year? Well, I am not for sure, but the beer and gambling help, not to mention the incredible food, kiddie rides, games, and new friends, but the truth is that this is an Italian church... Italians have huge families and these families have many friends and so, on and on everyone tells each other through word of mouth. The line for Italian food is long and a little bit of a wait, but why come to this without really enjoying yourself and joining in on the culture? You can buy Italian apparel, win Italian sausages or pasta machines, and more. Best of all, the fair is free.. Just buy your tickets for food or rides and get in line and watch the new comers and old timers enjoy a high carb event. Future church fair volunteer committee reps take note: the way to bringing in tons of fundraising money is to get as many people to your function as possible, learn from Mt. Carmel's Church, who even though takes their religious practices very seriously, knows how to do business... Bring in the alcohol and gambling and watch the money stream in. * Star one for the big fair one street down from me ** Meatball love star two is for the amazing Italian food, worth the wait in line *** Las Vegas on Navajo star three is for the gambling and alcohol, a true way to get people to forget how much money they are spending **** Tony and Frankie star four is for the great look of Italians... So much eye candy all on one small block ***** The way HE would want it star five is for the smart business move of the church... One of my favorite events in Denver and you never hear about it.... Note: The event just happened the weekend of July 13-15th... Try next year.
