Recently, I was walking on campus to meet with a fellow minister in the city of Denver. On my way, I passed by several men handing out Bibles on the campus for anyone to have (they were Gideons). I chatted with a few of them and thanked them for working on the campus.
Later that day, I noticed a student sit down nearby and beginning to read one of the Bibles that she had been given. Not wanting to pass on an opportunity to converse with someone who was spiritually hungry, I went over to her and asked if she understood what she was reading.
Colorado Springs, Colo.- "If you try to pull out grass by the roots, you cant do it. They are firmly planted,” said Ross when asked about the origins of the church’s name. “This is like the way we want people to be deeply rooted in Christ. Also, as we grow in our relationship with God, we also need to care for one another like grass roots wrap themselves around other roots.” With a name that is reflective of the church’s organic and relational approach, grassROOTS tenderly branches out and welcomes those who are outside of the church culture in a city that is popularly coined as the “Christian Mecca.”
Fort Collins, Colo.- Two short years ago, The Pursuit Church was doing a series of three preview services with 60 to 80 people in attendance at each as they tried to establish a presence among the Fort Collins community. Now visiting their regular services of approximately 200 people on Sunday mornings, it is remarkable to see how God has expanded their ministry lead by Pastor Alan Reed as they serve and share the love of Christ.
