What is Community Life at 4C’s?
Our hope at 4Cs is to build an environment where Christians of all stages can enter into transformational discipleship.
What is transformational discipleship?
For us it means that we want to see our community live with dedication to growing deeper in the calling of Christ, deeper into His community, and further in His Kingdom mission. Our faith journey is a lifelong process of learning to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as much as ourselves.
We never “graduate” from the school of Christian living. As we learn to apply and obey Christ’s teachings, our life will increasingly reflect our commitment to Christ. In other words, transformational discipleship is the result of a lifelong process. A real, radical change expressed in both our individual and our community life.
To support Christian growth in individuals and within the church, we believe that there are four essential elements that foster the transforming work of the Spirit:
-
God’s Word – Shaping our Actions and our lives
-
Relationships – Community nurturing and encouraging our growth
-
Obedient Living – Abiding in Christ as we hear his call to witness for his name
-
Worship – Interacting with and experiencing the presence of God
Our culture is distracted, fragmented, and hurried. Many of us are simply too busy and exhausted to have a meaningful life with God. We need what Dallas Willard called a “curriculum for Christlikeness” – a clear path to being formed by Jesus in the modern era. “Practicing the Way” is a course designed to help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. Our goal is to see our community integrate the practices and rhythms of Jesus and his earliest followers, creating space for the Holy Spirit to form people of depth and love. We’d love for you to join us for 10 Sundays in 2025, starting 1/12 from 3-5 pm! All adults are welcome to join — child care will be provided (and volunteers are needed!) as well as light snacks. Questions? Email Claire Harris at Claire.Harris(a)4Cs.Church. To volunteer for child care click the link below.

There’s a wide offering of adult groups – something for everyone. Small Groups are usually between 8-16 people who meet regularly to do life together, study the Word, pray and fellowship. Every group has its own flavor, depending on the leaders and members and when and where they meet. Most are open for new folks to join. For more information, contact Rick Gilmore at rick.gilmore(a)4CS.church or 720-850-1934 or fill out a Connection Card and check the “Community Groups” box.
Permanent Bible Studies and Prayer Opportunities
PRAYER MINISTRIES
Prayer Opportunities – If you have prayer needs and would like an elder to pray with you privately, members of 4C’s Council of Elders will be up front near the stage after each service to pray with you on an as-needed basis. We welcome and encourage your participation in taking our needs to the Father. Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Also, a prayer team meets in the prayer and counseling room, just inside the south entrance between services (from 10:10-10:25) on Sunday mornings, led by Robin Millett.
Pray 396 — Every Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the Worship Center. All are welcome and encouraged to join us.
Prayer Shawls — We invite you to take the time to check out the prayer shawls located in the Family Room by the north entry. If you or someone you know would benefit from having a prayer shawl for encourgement, please take one. We ask that you fill out one of the cards in the black box on the wall which allows us to keep track of and pray for those who have received the shawls. Thanks to everyone who has created these beautiful expressions of God’s covering in difficutl times.
