Trinity United Methodist Church Denver

What Trinity United Methodist Church Denver does

Trinity United Methodist Church is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit and one of Denver's oldest continuous congregations, founded August 2, 1859 as the Auraria and Denver City Methodist Episcopal Mission and relocated to its current 1820 Broadway address in 1888. It operates from a Modern Gothic sanctuary housing a 4,275-pipe Roosevelt Opus No. 380 organ and Arts & Crafts stained glass by Healy and Millet, and serves a broad downtown Denver community through weekly Sunday worship at 10:30am, livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook.

The church's core offering portfolio spans worship, education, pastoral care, mental health, music and arts, and facility rentals. Programmatic lines include Sunday School for children nursery through 5th grade, youth ministry for grades 6–12, Trinity Academy adult education at $65/year covering spirituality, world religions, and social issues, the on-site Connectional Health Clinic offering therapy and case management, and a Music & Arts Ministry featuring Chancel Choir, handbell ensemble, and flute choir. Four wholly-owned operating subsidiaries formalize these lines: Connectional Health Clinic, Trinity Academy, Trinity Second Century Foundation, and Love in Action. Facility usage for weddings (sanctuary and Stiles Chapel for up to 70+ guests) and funerals/memorials provides ancillary revenue.

The revenue model relies overwhelmingly on tithes and offerings from congregants, accepted in-person, online via Shelby Giving, and by mail, with negligible supplemental income from facility rentals and Trinity Academy registrations. The church is governed by lay leadership and elected committees (Trinity Council, Board of Trustees, Finance Committee, Staff Parish Relations Committee) within the United Methodist Church's Rocky Mountain Conference. Distribution and community reach are amplified by a dense nonprofit partnership network—Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, Metro Caring, St. Francis Center, Urban Peak, We Don't Waste, The Center, CHUM, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, Pura Vida Ministries, and UMCOR—and by the Second Century Foundation's 2026 grant cycle of $124,000 to housing and food-security nonprofits. The Statement of Inclusion adopted June 30, 2019 formalizes an explicitly progressive welcome stance.
