Wheat Ridge Congregation United Church of Christ

This church is the best I’ve ever attended. I’ve been a member here since 2001. We are a progressive, Open and Affirming committed church that welcomes everyone regardless of who you are or what your faith or personal background is. We now have two pastors, The Rev. Claudia Schmitt is the senior pastor and her husband, Rev. David Conner, is the associate pastor in seim-​retirement. The church has grown exponentially since the previous review of 2012. We now have several young families with lots of young children who enliven our church family. The music program is fantastic, and of course, the sermons are excellent.
I agree with Sara S. that you should lock your car doors, but of course, you should really do that everywhere. I don’t think our neighborhood is any worse than any other neighborhood in Wheat Ridge or Denver, and is, in fact, better than many. It’s just common sense to lock your car doors wherever you are.
I do hope you will visit us and make up your own mind, but I think you will want to stay once you’re here.

The couple times I have been here for the Easter/​Christmas services have been wonderful.
My Mom also got married here, about 5 years ago. She is a member of this church and has been for over 10 years.
I wish this place could see more younger people. No offense, lots of older people and they will not be around forever, which warrants needing a youthful base to keep the church going.
David Conner is a great pastor, and it’s always a pleasure to hear his sermons.
Tip: Lock you car doors when going to this church. It’s in a questionable part of town that has kind of gone downhill the past couple of years.
