What is Love Denver?
A free back-to-school day for our neighbors.
Love Denver is a completely free back-to-school event sponsored by local churches. Our mission is to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the community through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We give away backpacks full of school supplies, lunch, free kids’ haircuts, sports physicals, medical screenings, prayer, faith resources — and a really, really good time.
Why we do this
We want to serve our community with the grace and love of Jesus. Jesus loves people, and people matter to God.
A people on mission
Christians are here to show all the world the great Glory of God. The Church of Jesus should not just be a place we go to worship, learn and be encouraged. It is namely a community of people on a mission to change the lives of people one soul at a time. Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 25 that when we serve, feed, clothe, visit, comfort, and provide for others in need, we are actually ministering to and serving Him.
A community that cares
There will be people from multiple Denver area churches present at the event. If you would like more information on what it means to be the Church, need prayer, or have a special need, look for those with an event t-shirt, visit the prayer tent, or find a church information table in the faith/resource tent. We are here to minister to our community in the name of Jesus, and we love and care about YOU!
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
— Jesus, Matthew 25:40
