Happy January 19th everyone! What, you’re not
excited? Actually, you’re probably wondering why I would be. Well, today is the
one year anniversary, the “paper” anniversary according to tradition, of Golden Community Church
(maybe this is why we’re so excited about our new stationary and business
cards?).
Anyway, for those who don’t know, a year ago, the founding
members of our church were all attending different churches. We had not been
worshipping together for a couple years after our original church dissolved.
Heading into the end of 2012, we began to hear God’s calling to develop a new
ministry focused on college students and young adults. As a result, we started
a Saturday night worship/Bible study time with some students from Colorado
School of Mines.
Our first meeting was January 19, 2013 at Lochwood Christian
Fellowship in Lakewood. We held them at other locations over the spring and
summer and attendance ebbed and flowed. Then, during summer, we realized that
this was to be more than just a Bible study, we were to start a church. Well,
that’s exactly what we did later in the year, but that’s another story.
This short article is simply to remember where we came from
and help maintain our focus. We thank God for His faithfulness to us and this
ministry. It has been/is exciting to see Him move and grow us in new ways.
Thanks to all of those who have been there from the beginning, as well as you
who have joined us along the way. We look forward to what He has in store for
us in the years to come and are honored to be part of His plan. “I know that
You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted” Job 42:2-3
(NASB). If you’d like to hear a little more detail about why we do what we do,
check out our “conversation” about this on our website. You can find it at www.goldencommunity.org.

Happy anniversary!
