About Us Page - 970 Church, Grand Junction, Co

Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.

We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

At 970.church we love God and love people. We are passionate about introducing people to Jesus and inviting them to live as his disciples. We love to introduce them to the non-religious message of Jesus and invite them to a radical way of living out one’s faith.

We live in a valley where a large percentage of the young adults (20 and 30 somethings) have checked out of church or know nothing of the Christian faith. We live in a valley where 42 percent of the population aren’t involved in any church and 23 percent have decreased their involvement with their faith in the last 10 years and simply don’t see the traditional, institutional church as relevant or valuable to their lives. We intend to reach out to these neighbors and offer genuine friendship, compassionate service and the Good News of Jesus.

Many have have remarked that 970 Church is different than most of the other churches they’ve been a part of or have visited. A lot of it has to do with what we value. We believe every church needs to operate according to the Scripture and follow the Spirit’s unique leading for them. Here are a few things that are part of 970 Church’s unique DNA:

We value God’s presence over our performance.
We value seeking God over impressing people.
We value what God can do over what we can do.
We are more concerned with offending God than offending the world.
We refuse to trade truth for relevance. Afterall, truth is always relevant.
We love the lost and the disillusioned more than the way we do church.
We focus on growing passionate, surrendered followers of Christ rather than creating more casual, carnal, cultural Christians.
We commission people to live as Jesus lived in the midst of their world as an ambassador of the Kingdom rather than asking them to retreat into a Christian safe house.
We engage our faith community in active service with an emphasis on developing meaningful relationships.
We instill a compelling call to live for something larger than oneself as a disciple of Jesus.
We facilitate personal spiritual development within the context of Biblical community.

970.church is affiliated with the Rocky Mountain District of the General Council of the Assemblies of God USA.
