vision
To be a church that is deeply in love with Jesus and desperate to reach Denver.
Come as you are
No matter what you believe, what you’ve done, or are doing, you are genuinely welcomed into this authentic community. If you’re someone who feels broken, disconnected, or lost, this is a place for you.
One of the things Jesus hated more than anything was religion. When the Pharisees, the most religious people in Jesus’ day, complained bitterly about how Jesus gathered all kinds of broken people, Jesus’ response to them was, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do” (Luke 5:31). Jesus doesn’t ask you to clean your life up and then come to church. Come as you are.
love Jesus
Jesus was once asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” In other words, what were you created for more than anything? What is your greatest purpose, according to Jesus? He replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ” (Matthew 22:37). We believe you will find your greatest purpose and joy in this life when you fall in love with Jesus! Everything we do here is about Jesus.
Reach Denver
Our church doesn’t exist for us. Jesus calls every single one of us to share the greatest news in the world: that while we were out rejecting Him, Jesus willingly came down from His throne, entered humanity, and gave His life for us on a torture device, the cross (Romans 5:8). Denver is beautifully looking for what is authentic and real, just in all the wrong places. This city is longing for this good news. Will you share it? At Authentic Way Church, we are desperate to reach this city for Jesus because we believe He is the authentic way (John 14:6).
