Congregation Beth Evergreen

What Congregation Beth Evergreen does

Congregation Beth Evergreen (CBE) is a Reconstructionist Jewish synagogue located in Evergreen, Colorado, serving the local mountain-foothills Jewish community and a growing remote membership base. Founded approximately four decades ago, CBE provides inclusive, egalitarian religious services, lifecycle ceremonies, religious education, and community programming for local member families as well as households located more than 50 miles away who affiliate remotely.

The organization's revenue model rests on member dues structured across three self-assessed tiers, tiered religious school tuition ($800 and $700 for two children), Yahrzeit memorial plaques ($500), facility and program fees, and a structured planned-giving program operated in partnership with Live On | LIFE & LEGACY. A distinctive offering is the "CBE Everywhere" remote membership tier priced at $396 annually plus a $36 technology fee, enabling geographically distant Jewish households to maintain congregational affiliation. CBE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; its sole clergy referenced is Rabbi Jamie Arnold, with Elizabeth Moore serving as Life & Legacy Coordinator.

CBE's operational technology stack centers on ShulCloud, a synagogue-management SaaS platform used for website operations, member communications, dues billing, and constituent records. Member engagement is supported through Constant Contact email, YouTube, social media, and in-person community events. The congregation is institutionally affiliated with Reconstructing Judaism (the denominational movement) and partners with JCC Ranch Camp for intergenerational retreats. There is no disclosed revenue, membership count, headcount, or financial statement in the available data, limiting quantitative analysis of scale and growth.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Congregation Har HaShem: Large Jewish congregation in Boulder, CO serving similar Colorado foothills demographic. Offers comparable religious school, lifecycle events, and adult education but at greater scale, representing both peer and primary competitor for Jewish families in the region.
• Temple Sinai Denver: Reform Jewish synagogue in Denver serving the metro area Jewish population. Direct competitor for Denver-area Jewish families and a comparable reference point for synagogue operating scale, programming breadth, and membership dues structure.
• Nevei Kodesh: Reconstructionist Jewish congregation in Boulder, CO. Direct peer sharing CBE's movement affiliation (Reconstructing Judaism), inclusive philosophy, and Colorado mountain-west geography. Comparable scale and programming model.
• Congregation Bonai Shalom: Jewish community in Boulder, CO offering worship, education, and lifecycle services. Comparable peer operating in the same Colorado geographic market with similar congregational model.

Others

• ShulCloud: Technology vendor powering CBE's entire digital infrastructure. Not a competitor but an enabling/dependency relationship - hundreds of synagogues use ShulCloud, making it a meaningful reference point for CBE's digital operational model.
• Reconstructing Judaism: Movement affiliation organization of which CBE is a member. Provides ideological framework, rabbinical placement, and shared resources across ~100 affiliated Reconstructionist congregations nationally.
• JCC Ranch Camp: Jewish summer camp in Elbert, CO that partners with CBE for annual Shabbaton retreats. Adjacent ecosystem player in Colorado Jewish life rather than direct competitor.
