Why Denver?

When we answer the question, “Why Denver?” we like to think about three categories: need, influence, and community.

Need

The population of the Denver Metro Area has steadily grown to reach a record high of 2.8 million residents. Studies show that 93-97% of these Denver residents are unchurched. As Denver continues to grow—as people continue to come—we believe the need for gospel-centered churches rises tremendously.

Influence

Denver is a city that influences the world. Urban centers continue to be the primary location where culture develops. To evangelize the entire world, then, we see Denver as the strategic starting point and launching pad of our mission. Denver boasts amazing qualities such as being home to over 140,000 college students, seventy nationalities and languages, and leading research in renewable energy and “green-friendly” practices. The city is filled with people who can impact the nation and world.

Community

Denver is a city where “urban sophistication meets outdoor adventure.” This unique culture excites us to plant our lives in the city with the intention of planting God’s church. We desire to give ourselves to Denver for multiple generations in the hope of seeing a movement of God.
