WHERE you can find us
Fort Collins is situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado along the I-25 corridor. Home to Colorado State University, the city has a population of approximately 140,000 plus another 25,000 college students.
During the week you can find us anywhere in the Old Town area. We often ride our bikes down to one of the many local coffee shops to study or catch up with friends, or simply spend time with families at any of the many weekend festivities that go on in Fort Collins.
The majority of the people share a love for the outdoors. Fort Collins is in the top five Bike Friendliest communities in the United States, with nearly 30% of the population commuting at least twice a week by bicycle. Old Town has a thriving community of artists, musicians and entrepreneurs.
On Sundays we meet at The Center for Fine Art Photography, located on the North side of Old Town. Its a great location that serves to help reinforce our passion for creativity, which is one of our five core values.

core values.
GRACE We believe the key to experiencing life the way God intended is found in resting in God’s grace. (John 10:10) The Bible teaches that when we enter into a relationship with Christ, we receive a new identity. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Our desire is to teach others to rest in God’s grace and come to a full understanding of their identity in Christ.
CREATIVITY The Bible teaches that when we enter into a relationship with the Creator, we receive His divine nature into our lives which includes His creative spirit. (2 Peter 1:4). Our desire is to do everything creatively - to be creative in the way that we live our lives. We believe God wants to work in and through us to paint a picture of His truth and grace to the world.
INTENTIONALITY We believe that God creates every human being with purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). We believe that purpose is not just important for the individual but for us as a community of God followers as well. We desire to be intentional in everything that we do. That nothing is done just for the sake of doing. That everything contributes to our greater purpose.
COMMUNITY We believe that community is modeled for us by the person of God himself and in the biblical pictures we have of the early church. (Genesis 1:26, Acts 2:44-47). Our desire is not only to share the gospel, but also our lives with the people of Fort Collins. (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8). We want to live life together in an authentic and transparent way and promote a spirit of community both within our church body and with the city of Fort Collins.
SUSTAINABILITY We believe God calls us to be good stewards with what we’ve been given, starting with taking care of creation (Genesis 2:15). We are called to be responsible with how we use God’s gift. Sustainability applies to more than just creation care. We believe that making responsible financial decisions as a church and as individuals is something that honors God. As a community of faith, we want to make decisions that will allow us to be around to minister to our community for years to come.

Pray for our families, pray for the people that we meet on a daily basis, and for those we are currently cultivating relationships with. LIFESTYLE We believe that missional living happens now. It is not something we schedule, not a date on a calendar, not something we plan to do. Missional living happens “as we go”. It is how we talk to a cashier at the grocery store, how we interact with our neighbor, how intentional we are in our conversations with the barista at our local coffee shop. We are called to build relationships with those around us so that we can share God’s truth and grace with them. We ask that you commit to do the same. It’s a call to total lifestyle change.
