Nederland Community Presbyterian Church, Nederland, Colorado –

The Nederland Community Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). We appreciate diversity, and we treasure openness to new ideas of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ in our time. For us, a fellowship is alive where people are free to grow with God and with each other.

Following the example of Jesus and his followers, we strive to be an inclusive congregation. We celebrate our common search for faith and welcome people of every race, color, gender, age and life situation. Our emphasis is on caring, accepting and tolerance, not judging. We speak of our church as a ‘family’ and believe that before anything else that may seek to divide us, we are brothers and sisters in Christ.

Join in worship each Sunday at 10 am, with children’s Sunday School at 9 on most weeks.

You might know that there is a tree at the beginning of Genesis—actually two, but you’re probably more familiar with the one Adam and Eve weren’t supposed to eat from. You might also know there is a tree at the end of Revelation, with leaves for the healing of nations. Between those bookends, the Bible is full of other stories about actual trees (the Oaks of Mamre and Cedars of Lebanon) and metaphors about trees (such as, Jesus’ parable of the fig tree and Isaiah’s joyful trees). Over the next several weeks in September and October, as our own aspens change to that beautiful golden hue, we’ll be hearing God’s Good News, through these and other Trees of Life. The kids will make their own branches and leaves of faith in childcare, and adults will have some fun finding all the tree references in our hymns. My hope is that this worship series help your roots grow deeper, so you can stand more firmly with the Spirit! … [more...]

Outdoor Worship

For quite a while NCPC has a tradition of moving outside for one Sunday a year, to worship in God’s own sanctuary of nature. This year we meet on 10 June, 10 am at Chipeta Park. This location will be much easier for folks who don’t drive, as well as easier on those volunteers who pack up the tables. Bring your favorite chair, something for the sun, and a dish to share! … [more...]
