Real People on a Real Journey to Finding Real Life in Jesus Christ

This is the essence of who we are here at Northwest. We don't claim to be people who have it all together and who don't have room to grow into people who are more like Jesus. If you don't believe us just come and get to know us. You will find that we aren't a perfect people but that we are trying to make ourselves more and more like the God that we have all chosen to serve.

We are real people. We are a very diverse community. We are a group of people who come from all walks of life. Some of us grew up learning about the Christian faith and others of us are brand new to a relationship with God. Some of us are financially blessed and others of us struggle to make ends meet. Some of us have lived lives that are very different than the life we are now trying to live. Some of us have grown up in places like Northwest and know that there are just as many things (or more) that probably need to change in our lives as well.

We are on a real journey. We aren't a social club, a fraternity, or even a charity. We are a community that is on a journey. We are going somewhere, we are pursuing something. What are we heading towards? Where are we going? We are on a journey to better understand and to live out what it means to be God's people in our community. We are learning that there are areas of our lives that aren't what God desires them to be and that those things must change. With the Bible as our guide, the help of God's Spirit and our fellow travelers we want to be on the journey to becoming all that God has called us to do and be.

We are finding real life in Jesus Christ. There used to be a popular bumper sticker that read, "He who dies with the most toys wins." While that may be the attitude of some we believe that there is a different meaning and purpose to our lives. We are continuing to discover that real life is found only in an ongoing and ever improving relationship with Jesus Christ. But we are also learning that it isn't just our personal relationships with Jesus that are important but also our relationship with Him as a church. This real life means that we are committed to loving God, loving others, and being a blessing and servant to those around us and to those around the world as we have opportunity. We do this by offering help and support to people in our community, by supporting works and other ministries in other places in Colorado, the US, and throughout the world, and by loving those around us and trying to show them what God has done and is doing in our lives.

So who are we? The truth is we are just like anyone else. We are just like you. The difference is that we have found something beyond ourselves that is worth everything to us. We have found a relationship with God, a community of people united in their love for Him, and a purpose for every aspect of our lives. We want you to know that God loves you more than we could ever express. Many of us can tell you stories of times in our lives where we have seen in powerful ways the faithfulness and love of God. You can see it in the way we love and treat each other and the ways in which we seek to be God's representatives in our community.

We hope that you will give us the chance to get to know you. To learn about your life and the things that are happening in your world. We hope that together we can see God working in your life and ours to do great things. We want to invite you to join us on this journey. A journey with real people looking for real life that is only found in Jesus Christ.

If there is any way that we can bless your life we hope that you will give us an opportunity to do so. You can contact us through this site, call the church office, or come see us. In the mean time we pray God's richest blessings in your life and we hope that you may come to be on the journey that leads to the real life found in our friend and Savior Jesus Christ.
