Types of churches in Lakewood

Modern Lakewood Churches

Many congregations near Belmar, Union Boulevard, and along Wadsworth emphasize band-led worship, practical teaching, and casual, family-friendly environments. They often organize service projects at Belmar Park or food distributions that serve Lakewood and the West Colfax corridor, appealing to commuters and young families.

Lakewood Churches for Young Adults

With Colorado Christian University in town and easy W Line light-rail access to downtown, several churches host college groups, young-professional meetups, and mentoring. Expect weeknight gatherings, hiking meetups around Green Mountain, and volunteer teams that plug into needs at the Denver Federal Center and local schools.

Historic & Liturgical Congregations

Older parishes along West Colfax, in Two Creeks, and near the Applewood and Morse Park areas offer structured liturgy, choral music, and stained-glass sanctuaries. These congregations serve multi-generational Lakewood households seeking reverence and continuity amid the city’s postwar neighborhoods.

Spanish-Language & Multicultural Churches

Congregations along the Sheridan-to-Kipling stretch and near Alameda often offer Spanish services or bilingual worship, reflecting Lakewood’s growing Latino community. Many pair faith life with ESL classes, immigration support, and cultural celebrations that connect newer arrivals with long-time residents.

“Go to church. That is always a good decision. You don't... You should never say, yeah, look. There'll be some places you're gonna go and you go, yeah. I don't know if we're gonna go or not. That... That's never a question with church. Just always show up. Doors are open, lights are on, show up. That's what you do. Alright. I want you go to Psalm 116.”

“Earthly kingdoms, they come and go. Presidents, governors, council leaders, they come and go. But the kingdom of God endures forever. Earthly powers are finite. The power of God is infinite. Earthly rulers destroy. God saves. is the theme of the book of Daniel. There are many characters in the book of Daniel, but the the character is the character of God. It is the character of God who we are to stay focused on throughout the story of Daniel, and it is the character of God who we are to stay focused on in our own stories.”

“"So the worship team is coming right back up. That's why we put the worship at the end of this message instead of the first. We've talked about it, and now we are going to do it. It is time. Now, you see this guy walking with that shofar right there? Hold it up high there, Charles. That's a shofar. That is also called a trumpet. You remember when I said that oftentimes when we read one of the passages we read, when they heard the trumpet, and they heard the shout, then the walls came down? He's going to blow this shofar. That's also a trumpet. That is a call to war, and it is also a call to worship."”

“everything should be an open book. That's what a relationship is. And what most Christians do is they say, God, you can come into the area of my bible reading and tell me what to do. God, you can come in the area of of I know I should be at church, and, Lord, you you can tell me that, as much as you want. Come in that room if you'd like. But there are certain rooms that if God walks into, you're kinda like, Lord, let's just leave that room alone. That's not a relationship. I'll say it this way. It's not a healthy relationship. if you want a a deep relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, once you're saved, then what you have to learn to do is say, Lord, every room you have access to. There's no room off limits.”

“We don't want your money. We want your soul. No, just kidding. Alright? But but but not in the dark, sinister way, but we want you to be saved. Alright? Like, we want you to know what it means to be born again. Alright? We don't and and, you know, I I joke about this. When earlier on in ministry, I I would say some pointed things about this subject just to go to one extreme. The extreme was we don't want your money. We don't need your money. But I mean this sincerely. When it comes to you and trying to find fellowship with God, if you're lost and you're not saved, you don't get to heaven by giving any organization money. Your money will perish with you without Jesus Christ. Jesus said you must be born again.”
38s
“And, Lord, if something is sound doctrine and your book says it, I'm going to practice it because you said it and you know what's best for me. This is a a real, you know, barn burner here. Anybody here ever been wrong before? Okay. Have you ever thought you were, like, a thousand percent right about something and, like, you know, five years later, you're like, woah. How about this one? Like, five minutes later. You know? Like, man, I missed that one. You know? And so the best, safest approach for a Christian is go, what does God say about something? And then I I accept it.”
40s
“I would never recommend rewriting a book that is intended for people who have the spirit of God inside of them and rewriting that book so that people that don't have that spirit can understand it. You will defile the words of God. Alright? So so we're not gonna we're not recommending that. So if you're not saved, you must be born again. Alright? Now if you are a Christian, you go, I just it's it's I'm not understanding some this. I'll say this. Focus on what you do understand. What I've learned is this. The problem that most people have, saved and lost a light with the Bible, is not what they don't understand. It's what they do understand and they're not willing to do.”

“And and when you rest something, you are taking it, and you are taking it out of position and twisting it in order to gain advantage. And you can do that with the bible. You can rest that's that's the wording that that Peter uses. You can rest the scriptures to your own destruction.”
37s
“It's a dangerous thing to do. I I mean, some people do that like, I'm gonna, you know, buy this or take this job or do whatever. Now God, give me the scripture I need to go ahead and prove that that that's the right move. Don't do that with the Lord. Alright? The Bible's not a Ouija board. Okay? Alright? Our God's not dead. He he yet speaketh. Right? And you take the Bible as it is written. Because that's what Jesus said. It is written, it is written, it is written. He did not say, well, you know, some people believe and some folks say, and I don't know, but I think he says it is written.”
35s
“It's not my job to change it. It's my job to believe what God as a Christian, to believe what God says. There are some that say, well, I don't like what the Bible says about fill in the blank. I don't know. Maybe it's sexuality. I don't like what the bible says about that. Can we change this? You can, but you shouldn't. You see, anytime you start changing what God says, you you don't realize it, but what you're doing is you're not just you're not just changing the scripture, you're changing who the nature of God is.”
