What We Believe

We at L² affirm the following;

Why would anyone want to go to church? Why would anyone choose L2 out of all the churches in Denver? When considering a church, this is perhaps the most important consideration, as one is essentially asking; “Will I fit in here?” If you are looking for the right mix: where doctrine isn’t compromised but where we haven’t forgotten we are sinners in a city of sinners; then we may very well be your people. While we share similarities with many churches, we also have some very key distinctives that create nuances which our growing body greatly appreciates. We have taken the time to break down some of these distinctives so that you can have clear picture of the kind of people we are.

While we are a church, we are not what we call “churchy church.” Over the last few decades the church has increasingly been losing its ability to speak to the culture and as a result has pulled away from the culture to create its own sub-culture. This “Cultural Christianity” defines Christianity by how people speak, how they look, the kind of music they listen to, and the overriding perception that God’s world is an evil dark place that is fast approaching its fiery demise.

At L2 we believe differently. We believe the church is called to be salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13-16). This means that we are to engage in the world, to enlighten it and preserve it, to redeem it and make it better because of our presence in it. Thus the function of the church is not to further separate us from a world that is “going to Hell in a hand basket”, but to equip the people of God to go into the world and redeem it because of the power of the Spirit within them.

These distinctives will be explained in greater detail later (accessible through menu to left), but the short answer is that we are first Biblical Christians, second Evangelicals, third Missional, and fourth Reformed.
