Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church

What Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church does

Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization headquartered at 10150 E. Belleview Avenue in Englewood, Colorado, serving the Denver Tech Center area for over 30 years (founded 1981 per firmographics, with operations consolidated at the current site circa 1990). Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination, the organization operates a multi-generational ministry ecosystem anchored by three weekly worship services — Traditional (Sundays 8:45am), Convergent (Sundays 10:30am), and Word & Table (1st and 3rd Saturdays 5pm) — with live streaming via YouTube as a digital extension.

The church operates a comprehensive programming portfolio spanning the full life cycle: Cherry Creek Preschool (a faith-based early childhood education subsidiary for ages 19 months through Jr. Kindergarten), Kids@Creek children's ministry (birth through 5th grade including AWANA, Kids Choir, Parent's Night Out), Student Ministries (middle and high school with weekly gatherings, camps, and mission trips), ESL/International Ministry, adult formation (Foundations, Men/Women in the Word, Precepts), Worship/Music/Arts programs, care and support services (Stephen Ministry, Grief Group, Food Closet), and community groups (MomCo, Pacesetters 55+, Knitters, Quilters). Digital infrastructure is built on SnapPages (website), Elexio (church management and online giving), Brightwheel (preschool registration), and RightNow Media (25,000+ video Bible study library). 41 employees support operations and the wholly-owned preschool subsidiary.

Revenue is generated through diversified giving streams: recurring tithes and offerings (online via Elexio, in-person, mail), one-time securities gifts, Qualified Charitable Distributions from IRAs, preschool tuition, and capital campaign contributions. The active "Laying A Firm Foundation" campaign targets $5 million over 24 months for facility upgrades and mission support. The church is ECFA-accredited for financial accountability. Mission footprint spans 26 Denver-area local ministry partnerships and 80 missionaries across 33 countries, with $411,045 contributed to global missions and $205,000 in direct community assistance in 2024. Ownership is congregational with no parent company or external shareholders, governed by a session of elders and deacons.
