Local Missions

We seek to embody the love of God as agents of change for the common good. We partner with a small number of high-impact organizations to meet practical, financial, and spiritual needs in Denver, in greater Colorado, and around the world.

Casa de Garcia is a church who joyfully worships God, is committed to the Scriptures, and dedicated to loving our neighbors in the north Denver region. We value enjoying God, engaging community, and embracing life. We envision being a movement of the gospel among Hispanics in metro Denver and beyond by making disciples and raising leaders who love the gospel and the church.

McAuliffe International School is the public school where Denver Pres holds our Sunday worship services. Twenty-five percent of students at McAuliffe are considered high-need.

Reformed University Fellowship is the official campus ministry of our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America. More than just a ministry on the university campus, RUF seeks to be a ministry for the university. RUF strives to serve in this unique stage of a student’s life in the world they live in, exploring together how the Lordship of Christ informs every area of life. Denver Pres partners financially with RUF programs throughout the U.S.

Following Jesus's example, the organization serves community members who are rebuilding their lives after incarceration, homelessness, and addiction. Mile High WorkShop specializes in kitting, assembly, and light manufacturing, partnering with businesses to create meaningful training opportunities and second chances.Through its transitional employment program, participants stabilize their lives, discover renewed purpose, reintegrate into the community, and experience the dignity of work. Mile High WorkShop values collaboration, working closely with local organizations like Denver Rescue and Cross Purpose.

Denver Rescue Mission has been serving the most vulnerable in Denver since 1892. Its history is rooted in a love of Christ and a commitment to share that love with others.

Denver Pres is part of the Western Church Planting Network, a network of churches in our presbytery (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana) that are passionate about planting churches. By the grace of God, we are on track to start 20 new churches by 2025 in this region of the country. These new churches will nearly double the size of our presbytery. We are founding members this network and provide key leadership for it.
