Finding A Sunday Morning Church Service

By Marci Glover


When you are a stranger to a city it is important to find a way to become a part of the community. Most will start by familiarizing themselves with the services available near their new home. An important part of many people's lives is a place to worship on a regular basis. If you live in Denver, CO there is ample opportunity to find a Sunday morning church service.

In an effort to attract a larger audience some churches now offer traditional as well as contemporary services. A large, well known Presbyterian presents the traditional services early in the mornings and follows with the more upbeat contemporary shortly before noon. Ideally, they hope to attract both younger and older generations into the fold.

Some denominations have off shoots from their main churches whose philosophy differs from the traditional beliefs. You will find internet sites that define them and their differences. Some differences are based in the way the foundations of belief systems are defined by the elders involved and cannot be resolved. Researching a location prior to attending any services may help make the correct decision the first time. Foundational belief systems are shown when you view the web pages of most churches.

One popular form of religion is non-denominational gatherings. This group of worshipers accepts all manner of people regardless of religious ties they may or may not have. They have a contemporary outlook on things and teach God's word and love in a way that appeals to every faith. Members have an attitude of acceptance that is extended to all who wish to worship with them.

There are evangelical churches who devote much time to making the city of Denver a better place to live. Their teachings lean to the acts involved in living the gospel lessons they study. They value the city and its residents as much as their own congregational members.

Other groups follow the concept of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. This is the same line of thought as the Catholic religion but not an exact replica of it. There are also Holistic belief systems that can be found in this area. They believe that the mind, body, and soul are all intertwined and wholeness is a gift from Jesus.

Methodist churches follow the Holy Trinity concept. The Methodist religion is the oldest religion found in this city. Their main location has been serving worshippers since eighteen fifty nine and they have a large following. During the holiday season they may have fifteen hundred people attending their services. Their sanctuary building recently celebrated an anniversary of one hundred twenty five years of ministering to their congregation.

No matter what denomination you belong to you will find a home for your belief system. The churches here offer services as early as eight thirty and others that begin after eleven AM. They have special classes for children and toddlers and are happy to welcome babies while the sermon is in progress. All local religious sects welcome new comers to their services and try to make them feel at home when they visit.
