United Methodist Church-Rocky Mtn Conference

HistoryIn the spring of 2016, Ike and Kelsey Shepardson approached long-time friends, Tyler and Cassie Zabor and Scott and Kelsey Lasher, about a dream that had been growing in their hearts--a dream that looked a lot like a church. Providentially, similar dreams of a church in the city of Denver had been sprouting in the hearts of the Zabors and the Lashers. Throughout the next year, over many conversations and prayers around the dinner table, those dreams began to take shape; dreams of an authentic community of people living as missionaries in their own sphere of influence; of hundreds of Denverites coming to love and follow Jesus; dreams of a church that exists for the outsider, the questioner, and the skeptic. Hope Denver launched its first service on October 14, 2018 in a chapel across the street from the University of Denver, and our story is still being written.
