Oldest Congregation in Tri-Towns Celebrates 95 Years & Expansion
Compiled by Jan Sciacca
N
ew Horizons Christian Church, the oldest congregation in Tri-towns, is celebrating its 95th anniversary by expanding. Currently, internal modifications are being made to the “new” building. but if all goes as planned, the church will be opening its doors at a new location at 701 Carbondale Drive in Dacono in mid-May. The church’s 530 Cherry Street location in Dacono, where it’s served the community for the past 43 years, will serve as the New Horizons Christian Church Student Center for children’s services and classes until a buyer is found for that building. New Horizons Christian Church, which has been led by Pastor Rob Thomas since 2002, declares, “This new location will help us to reach and serve even more people in the Tri-towns area. The building that formerly functioned as a restaurant, dance hall and VFW will now be a center of worship to
bring the community together.” New Horizons Christian Church was originated and founded in 1920 by Reverend A.J. Findley, then the minister of First Christian Church of Longmont. The congregation was called Frederick Community Christian Church, and was the first church in the Tri-Towns area. The church was a welcomed addition to the community, who rallied to make it a reality. Mrs. Edythe Leyda and the residents of Frederick presented the congregation with property at 4th and Walnut. On the day that the building was constructed, all businesses closed and men from the surrounding communities gathered to help. The women prepared and served food for all the helpers. With the help of the whole community, in just one day, by the time the sun went down, the building was ready for services. 65 people were present and became charter members at the first service. The dedication was held later that fall and was
conducted by Reverend Davis of Denver. On January 14, 1971, the building was destroyed from a fire caused by a faulty heater. Before the fire was extinguished, both Father John Walsh of St. Teresa’s Catholic Church and the Tri-Town Lions Club offered the use of their buildings for services. It was decided that services would be held in the Lion’s Club until the church was able to provide for a new facility. In October of 1971, the Church Board agreed to purchase a 30’ x 90’ barracks building from A-1 Movers in Denver. The building had once been an Army barracks in Fitzsimmons Army Base. The building didn’t conform to Frederick building codes, so it was not able to be placed on the existing church property. Clem DuFour, the Mayor of Dacono, under the cities’ direction, offered a clear deed to the property, now known as 530 Cherry Street. The price settled on was $1. The building was moved onto the site and placed on a basement foundation on February
17, 1972. Volunteer labor ensued and Easter services were held in the “new” building. Upon moving to Dacono, the church changed its name to Village Christian Church, but was later changed to what it remains today: New Horizons Christian Church. The most recent name change occurred when Rob Thomas, with his wife Jackie and their daughters, came to pastor the church. The name of the church, “New Horizons,” fully expresses the mission of the church and its people: its desire is to be a church for people seeking new beginnings that bring them to “New Horizons.” Sunday Worship Services are at 9:45 a.m. Children’s Church and Nursery are available. Family Night is on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. New Horizons Christian Church also hosts the Weld County Food Bank food distribution at 9 a.m. on Thursdays.
