Welcome to our website

Living in unity, working for justice is the mission of twelve member denominations as they come together as the Colorado Council of Churches. Through the work of two Commissions, Unity and Justice, official representatives of the member denominations address issues of Christian unity and interfaith relationships as well as issues of justice that affect the poor, voiceless, and marginalized in our society. While promoting unity, we celebrate diversity and the sacred humanity of every child of God.

    Rural Health Care Issues
    The Colorado Council of Churches is exploring how we might assist local rural congregations in addressing and making an impact on rural health care issues in Colorado. A few ideas that have surfaced are: 1) provide space in their facilities to local clinics to enable them to expand their services; 2) become tech sites which would enable their community to provide better telecommunication diagnostic services. 3) advocate for policy changes that would allow for more flexability for health care providers in rural communities in Colorado.
