Tell Us About Your Church and Pastor
The Filipino Church was established in 2011 and is a place where faith and culture flourish in Denver, Colorado. The Filipino Church in Denver is more than a place of worship—it’s a vibrant fusion of evangelical Christian faith and Filipino cultural heritage. We exist to serve, disciple, and welcome Filipino Americans and their friends into a Christ-centered community that feels like home. Rooted in the heart of Colorado, our church offers spiritually nourishing, language- and culture-sensitive services for children, youth, families, and elders alike. Though proudly Filipino-led, we are open to all backgrounds—celebrating unity in diversity and fellowship in faith.
We’re grateful to be connected to a broader TFC family, with campuses in the Philippines and Melbourne, Australia—all committed to evangelism, discipleship, and serving the nations. From the island of Siquijor in the Philippines, four of our pastors are currently enrolled in online Bible school. This ensures they continue to grow in biblical leadership and discipleship. Meanwhile, we’ve prayerfully launched two church plants on the island. Though construction of our small church building has temporarily paused due to limited funds, our mission remains strong.
Born in the Philippines and migrating to the United States in 2002, Pastor Arnold Cubos’ journey of faith took a powerful turn in 2011—the very moment God called him into ministry. What began as a step of obedience to lead worship soon became a full calling. From Worship Pastor to Lead Pastor, he boldly shepherds The Filipino Church in Denver, Colorado with vision and purpose. Currently, he leads TFC Converge Australia—strategically building a biblical network that unites hearts, churches, and nations for the Kingdom. But Pastor Arnold’s calling was no ordinary one. God placed a divine burden on his heart: to build a church that would minister in the Filipino language—right in the heart of America, It wasn’t an easy road. There were sacrifices, trials, and moments of uncertainty. Yet through it all, God proved faithful. What seemed impossible became a beautiful reality. And the story didn’t stop there.
Pastor Arnold and Cristy Cubos
Under Pastor Arnold’s passionate leadership, several dynamic ministries have been born: A Church Plant in the Philippines (launched 2023) A humble but powerful move of God is unfolding on one of the islands, where a small church building is now rising—brick by brick, prayer by prayer. LuzViMinda Ministry (launched in 2019) Using the rich diversity of Filipino dialects, this online ministry reaches far and wide—from Luzon to Visayas to Mindanao, and to Filipinos across the globe. It’s a digital mission field, declaring that God is at work everywhere. TFC English Service (launched in 2024) Created especially for the second-generation community in Denver, this service is now thriving—overflowing with young people hungry for God. In just one year, lives have been transformed, friendships have formed, and a new generation of leaders is emerging. TFC Converge Melbourne (launched 2025) A brand-new church plant in Australia, beginning to embrace its Kingdom calling. It’s a movement in its early stages, but the fire is already catching in the neighborhood—and God is opening doors no one can shut. Through it all, Pastor Arnold continues to lead with visionary zeal, a heart for discipleship, and a deep understanding of Filipino culture and identity. He’s not just building churches—he’s raising up communities, leaders, and movements that reflect the heart of God.
What Does TFC Do Really Well?
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord of hosts. — Zechariah 4:6
The Filipino Church in Denver may be small in size, but it’s a powerhouse of God’s presence. Rooted in prayer, driven by love, and led by the Holy Spirit, TFC is making a Kingdom-sized impact both locally and globally.
Here’s what makes this church stand out:
1. Worship that’s Spirit-filled and Culturally Rich TFC’s worship is more than music—it’s a heartfelt response to God’s greatness. With a blend of English and Filipino, our gatherings unite generations and cultures in one voice of praise. There’s joy, reverence, and authenticity in every song and prayer. “Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.” — Psalm 96:9
2. Discipleship that Transforms Lives At TFC, discipleship is a lifestyle. It’s not just about attending church, but about following Jesus daily. Through small groups, mentoring, and family-centered teaching, people grow deep roots in Christ and rise up as leaders—at home, in school, and in the community. “Go and make disciples… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” — Matthew 28:19-20
3. Outreach that Looks Like Jesus From jail ministry in the Philippines to helping families in need in Denver and beyond, TFC lives out the love of Christ. They don’t just preach the gospel—they live it out in compassion and service. “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.” — Matthew 25:40
The secret to TFC’s impact? It’s not strategy or size—it’s simple, Spirit-led faithfulness. We are a Church built by God. Everything we do points to Jesus and flows from a deep trust in His Word. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1 The Filipino Church is proof that God can use a small church to do mighty things—for His glory.
How Are You Seeing God At Work?
New Movement Born From a Bible Study Who would’ve thought that what began in June 2024 as a simple English Bible study with just three young adults would blossom into a vibrant, English multicultural fellowship? At the time, Pastor Arnold encouraged them to meet once a month. But their hunger for the Word and passion for the Gospel could not be contained. 
The group quickly grew into a twice-a-week gathering—even as they balanced school, work, and life. And then the miracle unfolded: 3 became 10…10 became 15…15 became 70. Last week, we paused not just to celebrate the numbers—but to honor God’s unmistakable faithfulness in this journey. To Him be all the glory!
TFC Melbourne: Faith Rising in the South God is moving powerfully in TFC Converge, Melbourne, and we are overflowing with joy and gratitude! Though still a young and growing fellowship, we are now officially registered as The Filipino Church, Converge Melbourne, Australia—a testament to God’s perfect timing and provision.
Every Tuesday, we provide community food support, meeting practical needs with love and dignity. 
Each Saturday morning, we host a meaningful Bread and Coffee Fellowship exclusively for residents at a nearby government-owned mental health facility—a sacred space to offer hope, connection, and care.

Divine Timing! Just when we needed it most, Australia reinstated the religious visa—opening the door wide for the next chapter of our ministry! We’re now preparing to apply, believing God for a longer stay so we can fully focus on the Kingdom work He’s entrusted to us. The process may be demanding, but we trust that God will provide every step of the way!
