Meet Grace Chapel

If you're looking for a church in the Denver area, Grace Chapel is a welcoming and casual community built on one powerful truth: you are greatly loved. This isn't just a saying; it’s the core of their mission to lead people in finding and following Jesus. 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. Everything they do is centered on Jesus, with the hope that you experience His love through their community.

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. This commitment isn't just for Sundays—it actively serves the community. One of the clearest examples is the Hope of Denver, a free counseling center they operate to love and support their neighbors across the metro area.

For Grace Chapel, success isn't measured by optics or spreadsheets alone; it's measured by seeing genuine life change in individuals and families. They are a community devoted to standing firm on biblical truth, keeping their focus on the enduring mission of furthering God’s kingdom.

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. It’s that perfect blend of suburban ease and urban access that makes it such a great place to call home.
