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.

After Lent and Easter, our next Worship Series is Behind Every Good Man… We’ll be looking at stories from Biblical women who too often get lost in the tales about their men. You probably already know something about Eve, Sarah, Mary, Ruth, and Esther. We focused on Martha and Mary Magdalene recently, and Rahab one memorable Christmas Eve. You may have heard about the woman from Proverbs 31, probably the same woman depicted in Song of Songs. So, let’s dig deeper into the lives of women like Miriam (Moses’ brave older sister), Delilah (Samson’s girlfriend, who finally stands up to the abuse), Hannah (Samuel’s desperately prayerful mother), Deborah (Israel’s best leader during hundreds of years of upheaval), Hagar (Abraham’s servant and, ahem, paramour), and Lois (Timothy’s grandmother). Maybe next year we can follow up on Bathsheba, Priscilla, Naomi, Phoebe, Vashti, Tamar, and anyone else who you want to learn more about! … [more...]
