Cathedral of the Rockies is a United Methodist Church that shares our faith through the message of "All Means All!" We extend a full welcome to all to participate, worship, and serve within our community, no matter who you are, where you've been, or who you love! We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, LGBTQ+ and allies, filthy rich, or dirt poor. We welcome the believer and the nonbeliever: we don’t care if you’re more Catholic than the Pope, more Methodist than Wesley, or haven’t been to church in well over a decade. We welcome soccer moms and Bronco dads, artists and engineers, tree-huggers and lumberjacks, the inked and pierced and those afraid of needles, latte-sippers and beer-drinkers, vegetarians and carnivores, junk-food eaters and health nuts. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems, if you’re struggling with your mental health, or in need of a prayer. Whether you had church shoved down your throat as a kid, or if you don’t like “organized religion," you are welcome here. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts. We welcome you, because we believe that all really does mean all!
