Frequently Asked Questions

1.
|
Where is the church going to be?
First of all, we will be a downtown church. This means that we want to be as close to the city core as possible. Secondly, we will be a diverse church. Denver is home to a variety of ethnic groups and we desire to put our ministry as close to the convergence of the large ethnic populations as possible. We will also place a high value on generational diversity having a ministry that touches the old and the young. We also desire to have socio-economic diversity believing that the rich and the poor need each other.

Do you have a building yet?
As of February, we have begun meeting in the old sanctuary of Central Baptist Church located at 2400 California Street. The church is one block of the light rail stop at 26th and Welton and sits just off of Park Avenue West. We meet on Sunday nights at 6:00 p.m.

Is this going to be a homeless church?
No. We are going to be a church for all people. We desire to reach the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the single, the married, and families with children. However, regardless of socio-economic status, all members of Providence will have a burden for helping the poor.

Why are you waiting to start Sunday morning services?
Actually, if you read the leading voices on church planting today, we are following their advice. They would say that some of the biggest mistakes made in church planting today are starting too early and starting without the proper amount of support.

What will you be doing between now and the actual launch of the church?
We will be enlisting ministry partners who will come alongside us in prayer, financial support, and being part of our launch team. Also, we will be going through extensive training as a core team as we journey together and form what this church will look like.

If I live in the suburbs, can I come to your church?
Part of our philosophy is that we want to live among the people God has called us to reach. We encourage all people to relocate to the city if they truly want to give their lives to the city. That being said, we believe there are three types of people who could help this new work
