Our Story
In the early 1900s, the founder of Colorado Springs, General William Palmer, donated land to build churches in the city. Our building was one of them and was constructed to be an outpost to reach the east side of downtown Colorado Springs. The building housed the original congregation for many years, it was home to a worship and prayer movement of young adults in the early 1900s, it provided space for a group of former slaves and their families to worship God, to name a few. This historical building has housed various congregations who, through world wars and in times of peace, from economic depression into the digital age, during the civil rights movement, the modern worship movement, through worldwide pandemics, and up to today, have all worshiped and prayed in these walls.
A new era is starting at Boulder Street Church, but we will continue plowing in the spirit to see a move of God in Colorado Springs. Prayer, worship, discipleship and the nations are in this city’s spiritual history. This has been a place where people have come and been transformed by encountering the presence of God and then have gone out carrying His presence with them. We will actively be a part of this legacy in our city by being a presence-centered, prayer-based, Jesus-people.
What began over a century ago in this building, continues with the vision of a thriving community that gathers to encounter God’s presence as a multi-generational, diverse church and that lives for Jesus to receive his reward from our lives, city, and generation.
