HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH

What HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH does

Hope Fellowship Community Reformed Church is a Christian Reformed congregation located at 2400 S. Ash St. in Denver, Colorado, tracing its origins to 1953 when it was established as Third Christian Reformed Church. Following a 2026 rebrand from Hope Fellowship Christian Reformed Church, the organization now operates as Hope Fellowship Community Reformed Church, signaling a deliberate broadening of community positioning while retaining its Reformed theological identity grounded in historic confessions (Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, Canons of Dort). The church offers weekly Sunday worship services at 9:30 AM both in-person and via livestream through BoxCast and YouTube, and supports a portfolio of ministries including Bible studies (men, women, and Spanish-speaking groups), children's ministries (nursery through 5th grade), youth groups, intergenerational social clubs, scouting (Pack and Troop 194), and community outreach programs such as the C.A.R.E. Closet and Hope's Angels.

The organization's core operational technology consists of off-the-shelf SaaS platforms: the Church Center app (Ministry Centered) for online giving, event registration, and member management; BoxCast and YouTube for livestreaming and archival of worship services; Google Drive for document sharing; and Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for community communications. Its business model is a nonprofit donation-based model, with all revenue derived from voluntary tithes, offerings, and donations collected in-person, online via Church Center, and by mail. There are no products or services with set pricing. The church serves diverse demographic segments including families with children, youth, adults, seniors, and the Spanish-speaking community in the Denver metropolitan area.

Hope Fellowship is led by Pastor of Faith Formation Sheri Admiraal (since 2022) and a small paid staff of approximately seven (Business Manager, Worship Director, Office Administrator, Children's Ministries Coordinator, Care Team Coordinator, Facilities Caretaker, plus the Pastor). The church maintains formal support partnerships with several missionaries and global ministries (Resonate Global Mission in Costa Rica, Modern Day in Peru, Jeremiah's Hope in Cambodia) and core local outreach partners (Jesus on Colfax, The Table, Volunteers in Action). No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment activity are present; the church is an independent, autonomous religious nonprofit within the Christian Reformed tradition.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA): The parent denomination of Hope Fellowship's Christian Reformed tradition. Not a direct competitor, but the denominational umbrella governing doctrine, credentials (e.g., Calvin Theological Seminary), and shared mission agencies (Resonate Global Mission, World Renew) that Hope Fellowship partners with.

Broad incumbents

• Flatirons Community Church: One of the largest evangelical churches in the Denver-Boulder corridor with comparable children's, youth and outreach programming, plus online/livestream worship and a Church Center-style app. Much larger scale but operates in the same Denver-area congregational market.
• New Life Church: Large multi-site evangelical church headquartered in Colorado Springs with Colorado-wide presence, online campuses and children's/youth programs. Operates in a broader Colorado geography but serves an overlapping congregational audience and uses similar digital ministry tools.

Direct peers

• Faith Bible Chapel: Mid-sized non-denominational / evangelical church in the Denver metro offering comparable children's, youth, and small-group ministry programming and serving the same Denver-area household market as Hope Fellowship.
• Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church: Reformed/evangelical congregation in Denver sharing Hope Fellowship's Reformed theological orientation, family-focused programming, and Denver-metro service area; directly comparable in tradition and target congregant profile.
