Denver Community Church started when a group of people felt led to move to Denver to start a church that would be so involved in the community that the only appropriate name would be Denver Community Church. DCC first gathered together in the spring of 2001. The theme of DCC has always been to explore and participate in the life of Jesus, so that we can be a healing presence in our world.

Today, by the grace of God, DCC is alive and well, which is the heart of our story. Our story is still being told, but it is not just one story; it is hundreds of stories from hundreds of people – stories of life change, healing, redemption, justice, and joy. It is the story of the Church – not brick and mortar – but people who live out the reality of God being in our midst.

As Denver Community Church, we explore and participate in the life of Jesus, so that we can be a healing presence in our world.

OUR IDENTITY //

As Denver Community Church, we are a courageous community of lifelong learners rooted in God’s love for us, and we find joy in discovering the depths of God’s heart alongside others. As participants in the expansive story of Jesus, we are transformed through the practice of compassion and generosity. We do this with whoever will come, growing alongside one another and helping each other along life’s journey. 

CURIOSITY //

We have a relentless desire to understand, first and foremost, the complexity within all conversations and issues. To practice the art of asking good questions, and seek what is at the root of every question asked. In doing this, we recognize there is always more to learn.

COURAGE //

We are willing to bring our full selves in the face of our fear, weakness and uncertainty. We always remember and honor how far we have come on our journey, while turning to move toward the curve of the horizon.

EMPOWERMENT //

We recognize all people and gifts are needed. We are crew not passengers. This is why we invite all people to participate with us in the work to which we have been called; equipping and mobilizing them for Kingdom work.
