The Denver United Chronicles

Joining Together For Greater Kingdom Impact

On January 9th, Denver United formally welcomed Denver Church and founding pastor Bryan Sederwall to the church family.  After joining Pastor Rob Brendle on the platform to briefly share their mutual excitement for the new strategic partnership, Pastor Bryan preached his first sermon at Denver United.  In a message entitled "Unity," based on Psalm 133, he brought to life the picture God paints in this psalm of ascent of what happens when believers join together to worship and serve Him.  Punctuated with stories from his own life, as well as the journey of Denver Church, Pastor Bryan shared his heart for the people of Denver and his passion for reaching into the dark places of our city with the light and hope of Christ.

Joining the pastoral staff of Denver United, Pastor Bryan will be focusing this passion for city ministry helping coordinate our church's local outreach efforts.  We are excited to welcome Pastor Bryan and Denver Church to the family and to see the hearts of these two outposts of Jesus's Kingdom join together for greater impact in our city.

When Christmas Came To Sturm Hall

On Friday, December 24th, Christmas came to Sturm Hall as Denver United hosted two Christmas Eve services.  Produced by Worship Pastor Austin Pyle, with direction by Andrew Schmidt and Pastor Andrew Mondy, each service presented a blend of the seasonal and the sacred, the traditional and the contemporary, in order to provide a welcoming environment in which folks could receive a clear presentation of the Gospel. The musical selections ranged from the traditional "Angels We Have Heard on High" to the contemporary "Urban Silent Night" to the classical "Laudate Dominum."  Dance teams brought their offerings of worship with a high-energy hip hop routine, as well as a reflective accompaniment to the "The Angel Song."  And the worship band was joined by a full string section, together bringing a joyful noise to the Lord. It was a festive celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, which saw full crowds at both services. Take a look at some of the memories from that evening.
