Dear Friend,

The chancel is the focal point of the sanctuary. While the cross is the central symbol in all churches, the artistic design in the sanctuary represents the creativity with which we hope to experience and share the faith.  Turquoise is a reminder of our distinctive Southwest flavor, and the large windows in the sanctuary give a wonderful view of the fabulous Red Rocks that reflect God's creative beauty in this area.
 
A "sanctuary" is literally "a safe place."  In the personal burdens we share, it is good to have a sacred space where we can feel safe.  It is also the purpose of this church to challenge us to a deeper understanding of the faith, and to live it more creatively and compassionately in a hurting world.

We welcome you to come and share the glory of God and shape our faithful response to God's love.

Rev. Nick Warner
