As we begin this New Year, 2023 is the 75th anniversary of our West Wing! So many children, women and men have heard and believed the Good News of Jesus, worshiped God, prayed, enjoyed meals, played games, and snacked on animal crackers (and spilled a few) since this beautiful space was thoughtfully designed and carefully constructed in 1948 by the people of Bethel Baptist Church. We thank God for our legacy; the visionaries, architects, contractors, pray-ers, givers, caretakers, teachers, mentors, vacuum-ers, painters, plumbers, electricians, decorators and so many more who have faithfully stewarded all 3 stories filled with unique and beautiful rooms. We are blessed beyond what we deserve to have this amazing resource for our Children’s Ministry; prayer gatherings; Missionary Guest Room; Hope Groups; Elder meetings; Preaching Team meetings; Staff meetings; etc. Also, as a part of the vision for our campus to be a shared space for churches and non-profits, we get to share all three levels with Bloom Church, Reclamation Church and other churches and groups for various events. Thank you, God. Great is Thy Faithfulness!
SUNDAY WORSHIP | JANUARY 8 | 9 AM. Are we alone in this world? Maybe this question brought to mind images of UFOs and alien life forms, but what about the supernatural? Humans have been wrestling with God for thousands of years, and we often wonder why He feels distant or if He cares about our own small lives. Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. to sing, pray and ponder these questions as our Ministry Coordinator Tara Farrell continues our series through the stories of the Bible entitled, Knowing God. This week we explore the extraordinary faith of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Jacob and how they walked not alone but with God as His plan to save humanity continued to unfold. Not able to attend the Service in person? Join us via livestream or view the recording here.

GRATEFUL. Thank you to so many of you who are generous to God by giving consistently to Hope through the year and in December, as God leads, provides and inspires you to do so. God, who owns it all, continually works through your ongoing and special gifts to empower our church family, missionaries, staff and facilities to provide a harbor in our confusing world for those seeking God’s presence, guidance and peace. Keep your eyes open as Arik Stewart, our Executive Pastor, will soon share an encouraging update of God’s provision through you who gather with us in Denver and our remote members at this point in our ministry year (Sept. through Dec. 2022).
