Tell Us About Your Church, Your Surrounding Community, and Pastor
Grace Fellowship of Lakewood, Colorado planted in 1962 and is located in and serves the east metro Denver community. We have around 150 on a typical Sunday. Our mission is to Love God and Love People, and help them trust and follow Jesus as Savior, Lord and King.
Grace Fellowship is fortunate to be located near Colorado Christian University and has a heart for loving students and providing opportunities to serve. As many students find themselves far away from home, our church welcomes them in as our family. We had one student attend and serve for the entirety of her stay at CCU. On her last Sunday, before moving back home, her father asked to address the congregation and to thank them for taking care of and loving his daughter in that season. We love that we can be a place where a father can trust that his daughter will be in good hands while she was gone from his care and watch.
After a year-long pastoral search process, Michael Fen became our 
lead pastor just a few months ago in July of 2025. Michal grew up as a proud atheist in a non-religious home. He came to faith in Christ about the same time he graduated from high school through the witness-influence of Jesus-loving friends. He has served in various ministry roles in various churches for 20+ years as well as a brief stint in the business world. He and his wife, Leah, have four adult children.
What Does Grace Fellowship Do Really Well?
We seek to be Christ-and-Gospel-centered in all we do. We believe in, preach, and teach the Bible as the Word of God and seek to apply the truth to life. We work hard at cultivating an atmosphere that feels like a family - friendly, encouraging, and user-friendly. We are committed to investing more and more in building a culture of prayer, outreach, discipleship and leadership development.
We enjoy ministering to many people in our area in a lot of different ways:
Loving Stitches is a group of ladies that get together on a weekly basis to sew quilts for 
those in and outside of the church who are suffering loss or illness. There is nothing more powerful than the presentation of a quilt to a family member who has recently lost a loved one or had to suffer some sort of illness. For some reason, a simple quilt can bring tears to eyes of both the recipient and the giver.
Blessing Bags - Lakewood has seen a rise in homelessness and people in need over the past few years, and as a response to those who are hurting, we have put together and distributed bags to those in need. The Blessing Bags contain warm gloves, hats, sunscreen, chapstick, lotion, bathing wipes, toothbrushes and toothpaste, a New Testament and Daily Bread. 
We had one person in our church ask if he could take a few to those who are in his work area who are addicted to drugs.
Grace Fellowship believes that our facility can be a great benefit to those outside our walls as well. We open our doors to a local Community Women's Bible Study, where 75 women attend faithfully. The ladies worship, discuss, and dive into God's work weekly. The children get together and play, craft, and learn about the love of Jesus. We have a group Girl Scouts that meet weekly as well. They have been immensely grateful for a safe place to gather.
We have been able to bless our local elementary school by providing the staff lunches and other needs as they arise. A group of the school's moms meet weekly at our church to pray for the students and teachers. Building those relationships and bridges with those within our community is something that we value greatly.
How Are You Seeing God At Work?
We've seen a steady flow of new attenders, especially people new to church and new to faith, and many are connecting at a deeper level with Jesus and His people here in the Grace family.
Over the past year, we have had numerous baptisms. Many of them have been a product of our Children's Ministry over the years. As the kids have grown in their faith and decided to make a commitment to Christ through baptism, we have been blessed to have leaders and parents baptize them. We have seen new families get connected and watched as fathers lead the way in baptism. God is so good!
How Can CRM Partner Churches Pray For Grace Fellowship?
- That the power of the gospel would flow in and out of our people and ministries, so that unchurched and spiritually adrift and/or complacent people would come to new and renewed faith in Jesus.
- That our church and ministry leaders would embrace and apply an "equipping" mindset that moves from just doing, to leading, and developing leaders.
- That God would give us wisdom to align with and implement His vision and priorities for our ministry.
