They want everyone who walks through their doors to know that God’s love is unconditional, no matter where you've been or what you feel you've failed at.

This Jesus-centered focus is grounded in a strong commitment to Scripture. At Grace Chapel, you'll find a hopeful perspective on faith that looks at life through the lens of God's Word.

What it's like to live in Englewood, CO

Living in Englewood really feels like you've found a hidden sweet spot in the Denver metro area. It has a wonderful, unpretentious vibe where you get the best of both worlds: you're just minutes from all the energy and excitement of downtown Denver, but you get to come home to a place that feels more relaxed and neighborly. There's a real sense of community here, whether you're chatting with someone at a local coffee shop or waving to neighbors while out for a walk. It’s a place that feels established and comfortable, like a neighborhood you can actually put down roots in.

One of the best parts is that you don't have to leave the area to have a great day. You've got fantastic parks right here, like Belleview Park with its beloved miniature train and a creek for the kids, or the fun of Pirates Cove in the summer. Plus, the access is incredible—you can hop on the light rail for an easy commute or a game day, and the historic South Broadway corridor is full of unique, locally-owned shops, breweries, and amazing restaurants. It’s got all the convenience you need, but with a character that’s all its own.

Ultimately, Englewood feels like a place where you can just live well. It's a diverse community that's practical, friendly, and perfectly located. You can enjoy a quiet evening at home, explore a great trail, meet friends at a cozy brewery, and still have the entire city at your fingertips.
