Josh and Kelly Allen officially launched Hope Colorado Springs in September 2018 after a long season of prayer and preparation. The mission of Hope Colorado Springs is to make the hope we’ve found in Jesus real. We seek to do this by living intentional, generous, and humble lives that speak love and truth to all who we share life with.
Our missional presence in northeast Colorado Springs focuses on three core priorities: rising generations of truth seekers and Church leaders, relationships with those who share our neighborhoods and workplaces, and restored lives among those in need of physical aid and family.
Despite its inaccurate reputation as a predominantly “Christian” city, some estimate that fewer than 20% of locals are involved in any form of faith community in Colorado Springs. Our county leads the nation in teen suicide rates, and many families in our city are struggling with challenges of military life. There is a need for real hope in Colorado Springs that isn’t widely realized by first impressions of our beautiful city.
You and your church family can join God’s mission of making His hope real in our community by supporting us with prayer, words of encouragement, and financial support. We are dedicated to being wise stewards of God’s resources by how we carry out our mission and core priorities, maximizing the impact of God’s Kingdom in our community. Thank you for considering partnering with us, and making the hope of Jesus real in Colorado Springs and beyond.
Please be praying for Hope Colorado Springs and their needs, and contact Josh at josh@hopecosprings.church with questions or for more information.

Men and Women’s ministries meet once a month with our Youth Ministry meeting every Wednesday night during the adult Prayer Service. We are grateful for what God is doing at our church and happy to be here to serve the Hispanic community and their families joining in God’s mission to reach more people for Jesus.
Mission Hills Church en Español is a place where you can be accepted as you are, experience freedom, receive grace and heal from your past hurts. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10. We believe that a full life in Jesus begins with transformation, a life fully committed to Him. We will continue to declare and demonstrate the truth of the gospel in order to invite non-believers to begin a relationship with Jesus. Enabling each person to take the next step toward becoming more like Jesus and joining Him on mission. Recognizing the greatness of God and submitting to Him by word and action. We recognize that there is such a need for the Spanish Speaking minorities and we exist to shine the light of the Gospel of Jesus through our church.

Pastor Ryan McBride is thrilled to partner with Converge for the tremendous amount of resources that can ensure success in church planting. Along with Converge, Pastor Ryan shares a heart for the advancement of the gospel that is fueled by church planting.
Catalyst is completely organic, having no "sending church," but began as a handful of families saying "yes" to God, meeting faithfully when He called, and trusting Him with the outcome. Giving has increased significantly over the course of 2018, but with a God-sized vision to reach people who are far from God, any outside resources will only help to make a deeper impact sooner. Catalyst has a very missional approach toward Fremont County with service built into the DNA of the church. Therefore, finances Catalyst receives are used to fund service opportunities in the community and expanding the reach of the gospel.
As a portable church that meets in a school gymnasium, there are certain challenges and unique dynamics at play when it comes to having a presence in the community throughout the week days. Having a building of their own is a long-term goal of Catalyst, so they can use their facilities to be even more effective in loving Fremont County well. Please join Catalyst in praying for their financial and equipment needs, as well as in their mission to pray for the entire world over the course of one year. Follow this journey through posts at facebook.com/catalystchurchcanoncity/. You can also get updates at catalystchurchcc.com. Ryan can be contacted at 719-334-0620, ryan@catalystchurchcc.com, or facebook.com/rmcbride83.

Filipino Christian Fellowship is growing in numbers, especially with new believers. The FCF Saturday evening service is a mix of Tagalog and English (Taglish) worship songs and sermons, followed by a dinner fellowship of Filipino foods. Michael “Bong” Olarte, Lead Pastor of FCF, was a church planter and pastor in the Philippines. He and his wife Loreta “Lhet” came to the United States in 2013 to give Highland Baptist, their supporting church, a ministry update. That trip birthed a long-term church planting mission between Highland Baptist, CrossWind Community Church and Converge because of their unifying vision and mission toward multiplying churches. FCF needs additional financial support as many attendees are new Christians and are still being molded and discipled in giving. Neither Bong nor Lhet are able to work for extra income because of their religious worker visa status. Please pray for their finances, and for FCF to be a growing, thriving church in North Denver.
For more information, you can reach Bong at 720-238-0559, and find FCF online: facebook.com/FCFofNorthDenver/

Harbor Church launched as a CRM church plant May 2016 in the Berkeley neighborhood of north Denver. Having navigated the waters as a church plant since March 2015 initially, Harbor Church partnered with Converge recognizing their need for access to resources, coaching and a larger support network. Converge came highly recommended. Harbor meets in the historic Oriental Theater where any number of events happen throughout the week. On Sunday mornings, their team transforms the space into a wonderful worship environment. Already, Harbor Church sends international teams to serve at least three times a year. Pastor Joel Thomas and the church are also passionate about partnering with local organizations and utilize a Community Engagement Director to link up with local businesses and non-profits. The most pressing needs are financial sustainability, (currently facing an $80,000 annual deficit), people growth and engagement in small groups. Harbor is looking to Converge for clear direction and support in setting up online giving platforms, a “best practices” guide for developing a strong CMS, consistent check-in and coaching from leadership and LEAD teams.
Please be praying for Harbor Church and their needs, and contact Joel and see their latest updates at: facebook.com/harborchurch.life/. or Harbor’s website, harborchurch.life.

The Mission Church reaches Mormons and ex-Mormons in the least churched region of our country with the gospel-centric missional heart it shares with Converge Rocky Mountain. We exist to glorify God, strengthen believers, and reach the lost.
Ritch Sandford, with his family, moved to Utah from the Chicago suburbs in 2013 after serving as a pastor at The Compass Church in Naperville, IL. The stories of transformed lives since then, fuel their vision to seek out, rescue and make disciples of the lost people in Utah.
The Mission Church is growing and currently praying for the funds (around $50,000) to support another much needed staff member. In addition, a wonderful warehouse space was acquired and recently renovated for weekend worship services and mid-week ministries. They are currently trying to raise $20,000 of additional support to help finish the renovation project.
Ritch would love to see churches send people, teams, and interns who have a heart to reach Mormons to serve with them for a few days or for several months.
