Denver Lecture Series

About Denver Lecture Series

Regular lectures for the disciple of Jesus, the skeptic, and everyone in between. In a rapidly secularizing city that views Christianity with increasing suspicion, the church in Denver must equip followers of Jesus to intelligibly articulate the orthodox, historic Christian faith in order that others might be drawn into discipleship to Jesus. Through regular, interactive lectures from theologians, pastors, apologists, and evangelists, the Denver Lecture Series seeks to create dedicated learning environments for Christians to grow in deeper discipleship to Jesus, and to more clearly understand and articulate the historic Christian faith.

What action should we take on behalf of the poor? What should we do with our own possessions?
