Looking for a new spiritual family? There’s a place for you here.
We’re an inclusive and welcoming community in the United Church of Christ denomination, serving Denver for over 160 years.
Join us for worship or stream via Live Worship every Sunday at 10:00 am.
We are a people of possibility. At First Plymouth, there is breathing room to explore and to hear … for after all, God is still speaking.
No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
We know you have many churches to choose from. So, why First Plymouth? Hear from some folks who found their home with us.
Absolutely, and we mean it.
First Plymouth has been an Open and Affirming congregation since 1999, which means we joyfully welcome gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, and queer individuals and their families into every part of our community. You’ll find LGBTQ+ members serving in leadership roles, singing in the choir, and sitting in the pews with their children on Sunday mornings. It’s just who we are.
If you’ve been harmed by unwelcoming church experiences in the past or you’re simply looking for a faith community where your whole family belongs, we get it. Come check us out on Sunday at 10:00 am and see how it feels. No pressure. You are genuinely welcome. Yes, seriously, everyone is welcome!
We believe God is still speaking, which means faith isn’t static. It grows as we learn, ask hard questions, and deepen our understanding of justice and love. For us, being a progressive church in Denver means welcoming doubt, embracing science, and putting Jesus’ teachings into action through real service and advocacy.
You don’t have to have everything figured out, you belong here. In fact, many of us are still figuring it out together. If that sounds refreshing, we’d love to meet you and hear your story.
Yes! And you won’t have to check your convictions at the door.
Many of our members care deeply about environmental justice, racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety, and immigrant protections. They’ve found a faith community here that shares those concerns and channels them into meaningful action.
That said, we’re a congregation, not a political organization. You’ll find a diverse group of people united by shared values and a genuine desire to love our neighbors. If you’ve felt out of place in other churches because of what you believe, see how we are different; there’s always room for you.
It means we take care of the earth as part of our faith, not separate from it. At FPCC, we educate our congregation about environmental issues, practice sustainability in our building and grounds, and advocate for protecting Colorado’s natural beauty for generations to come.
If you love hiking, gardening, or spending time outdoors, and you want your faith to reflect your concern for the planet, you’ll find kindred spirits here. Our Creation Justice Ministry is a great way to get involved, and Sunday worship is always a good place to start.
We’re glad you asked! It’s important, and we took the time to articulate our core beliefs for ourselves and for those who may wish to join us.
First Plymouth Community Purpose: We are a welcoming spiritual community that actively cares for one another, our neighbors and the earth. Inspired by God’s love and the teachings of Jesus, we engage in meaningful worship and spiritual practices; pursue social and earth justice through acts of service and advocacy; and create space for diverse expressions of belief.
First Plymouth Community Vision: Grounded in Divine hope, our vision is to nurture an ever-evolving, inclusive community that seeks justice for the marginalized and protects our precious earth.
At our core, we’re a community that cares for one another, our neighbors, and the earth. We gather to worship, to grow spiritually, and to put our faith into action through service and advocacy.
We believe everyone has a place at the table, and we work to create space for diverse expressions of belief.
If you’re looking for a faith community that’s grounded in love and actively engaged in making the world better, you might just feel at home here.
Visit Us on Sunday at 10:00 am to learn more about what we’re about. We’d love to meet you.
Honestly? It’s the people and the depth of our commitment. We’ve been an Open and Affirming (LGBTQ friendly) congregation for over 25 years, and we’re also a Creation Justice Church, which means caring for the earth is part of how we worship and live.
Beyond labels, what makes FPCC special is its community. Real friendships. Meaningful conversations. A place where your family can grow and get involved in what’s important to you, where you can explore faith without anyone judging where you’re starting from.
The best way to understand the difference is to experience it. Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:00 am, or stream online first if you’d like to get a feel for things. Either way, we’d love to connect with you.
We’d love to have you! Sunday worship is at 10:00 am at 3501 S. Colorado Blvd. in Cherry Hills Village. Just look for the welcoming faces at the door. There’s no dress code and no pressure. We have Sunday School and child care for the kids. Come as you are, and let us know if you have questions.
You can even let us know you are coming. If you’d rather get a feel for us first, you can stream the service live on our YouTube channel from home with no commitment required.
You can reach us at director@firstplymouthchurch.org or (303) 762-0616. We’re here to help you find your place!
