In a world filled with competing pressures and distractions, it’s easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the deeper, more meaningful life we long for. In our Spring sermon series, we’ll explore how Jesus offers a path that frees us from these anxieties, inviting us to experience His peace and joy by realigning our lives and priorities with His Kingdom.

In a world filled with competing pressures and distractions, it’s easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the deeper, more meaningful life we long for. In our Spring sermon series, we’ll explore how Jesus offers a path that frees us from these anxieties, inviting us to experience His peace and joy by realigning our lives and priorities with His Kingdom.We have three items to share with you all.
We continue to be stunned by God’s kindness. Thanks to His provision and the generosity of this church family, our end-of-year giving came in at $295,000 over budget! This is deeply humbling and fills us with anticipation for how He may continue to use our church for His purposes in this next season. Thank you for your joyful, sacrificial giving. Every dollar represents an opportunity to see the Gospel proclaimed, lives transformed, and the name of Jesus lifted high.
How should our church respond when He provides in this way? We see at least these three ways:
Throughout our Seek First the Kingdom series, we will share several key areas where we believe God is calling our church family over the next 2-3 years. This includes (but isn’t limited to!) how we can invest in our building to better align it with our current ministry needs and opportunities. Stay tuned! The financial health He has brought strengthens and encourages us as we humbly consider what’s next.
Thanks to each of you for how you lean in, care for one another, and wield your daily work, relationships, and opportunities to make much of Jesus.
Each year, we devote our February Family Meeting to sharing stories from around the church. This sharing includes everyone! Over a meal, we’ll “pass the mic” and celebrate through storytelling what God has been up to through His people at Park Church. This is always such a sweet time of encouragement together. Be thinking of something you may want to share to encourage our church family.
When: Sunday, February 23, 1–3pm
Where: Downstairs Event Space
Food: Lunch provided!
Childcare: Available for those who RSVP (2/19 deadline; see button below)
Do you know any recent college graduates, current seniors, or others who desire to develop as a church ministry leader, leverage their gifts on a leadership team, and learn contextualized ministry in a city like Denver? Consider sharing our Ministry Residency Program with them.
Our Ministry Residency program creates the opportunity to understand and practice contextualized ministry, grow as an integrated and dynamic leader, and develop practically and theologically as a follower of Jesus. Residencies are full-time, support-raised positions with a two-year timeframe (plus a possible, project-oriented third year if mutually discerned and agreed on). Time, training, and community are provided for support-raising.
Anyone interested can learn more here and/or complete an interest form here.
Grace and peace to you all!
With joy,
Neil Long
Executive Pastor

This is our fifth installation of our “Be with Jesus and Follow His Way of Life” multi-year preaching series.
On Sunday, January 12, we were joined by Michael Ramsdail and Mark Haug from CrossPurpose, a Denver non-profit organization that seeks to abolish relational, economic, and spiritual poverty through tuition-free career training and community development. If you missed their announcement, you can watch that above to learn more about their work and our opportunity to participate.
As Michael and Mark shared, an important element of CrossPurpose’s work is the cultivation of “Ally” relationships. This Spring Semester, we invite you, your family, or your Gospel Community to join CrossPurpose and its mission by becoming an ally.
An Ally is a volunteer who walks alongside the CrossPurpose community and career development program participants (called “Leaders”) to encourage and build friendships.
On Wednesday nights from 6–8pm, we come together for “Family Gatherings.” Three to four allies share a meal with 10–15 Leaders, play a game or two, and check in on how things are progressing in our Leaders’ lives and careers. Allies help provide Leaders with social capital and community outside their normal circles.
