Renewal Church is a Christian community in northwest Denver. In the midst of distraction and misplaced hope, we walk together toward a renewed hope and life in Jesus Christ. We carry on the ancient Christian faith living it out in a modern expression. We are one in ministry with St. John's Denver, a church located right on the park in Denver's Wash Park neighborhood.  We are part of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) church body.

 

What We Value

  • Being Spirit-Led - While our natural tendency is to be led by our own wants, we value being led by God and His Spirit. When making decisions, we seek God's wisdom in prayer, go to His Word, and discuss with His people.
  • Being a Courageous Community - God frequently reminds His people not to fear but to trust Him. At times, God calls us to actions that can be difficult for the sake of His mission. We are a community that, having sought His will, steps out in courage and trust in Him.
  • Fostering Authentic Relationships - Knowing that our identity rests in Jesus alone, we are free to be open, vulnerable, and authentic with God, one another, and people we encounter. We are a community where people can be honest about their joys and struggles because we know that God loves us and that we love one another.
  • Being a place of Liberating Grace - The radical news of Jesus is that despite all the brokenness in the world and in us, His grace and mercy make us right. Because he has loved us, we share that same grace with one another. Here, people find a community that is willing to walk through challenges, setbacks, and sins with patience, love, and the forgiveness that comes from above.

The Discipleship Pathway
The Christian life is one of abiding in Jesus (John 15:4-5). To abide in Jesus, we focus on these areas.

  • Gather - We gather in weekly worship to hear from God, rejoice in His Words and His gifts, and respond in praise for what He has done.
  • Grow - As Christians, we want to continue to grow in faith, trust, and every good work. We meet in Life Groups and various other studies to deepen our faith.
  • Serve - Our lives were not given to us for our own sake for for the sake of others. As Christians, we live a life of service. We do this through our various ministry teams and external service opportunities.
  • Go - The mission of God to reconcile the world to Himself continues through His Church and its members. Each of us engaged in the task of going to those around us and sharing the good news that Jesus has given Himself to make all things right.

What We're Moving Towards

God's love, grace, and mercy transforms and renews us. We celebrate all that God does in the life of His church, including these marks of the new life he gives us.

  • Renewed Dependency on God's Word and His People - God calls us not to a life of independence but one of depending on Him. We rejoice in relying on Him and receiving those gifts that He has given.
  • Renewed Priority of Time, Energy, and Resources - We believe that all that we have comes from God. He has trusted us to manage well those things He has given. We seek to prioritize these things as God would prioritize them.
  • Renewed Love for the People God Put in My Life - We are called not only to love those that love us or those that are "loveable," but to love all people and see them as people God has called us to serve.
