First Baptist Church of Golden

I am visiting Golden, to tour the Colorado School of Mines, so not a regular to First Baptist Church. Attended worship here this morning, and it is a thriving community of young and old, college students, families in all stages, and races. Regulars talked familiarly with each other, lots of greeting going on, a strong sense of belonging, and fun (a scavenger hunt event had happened recently that sounded like a blast and resulted in more bonding). I think they have Sunday potlucks. The music was great; combo of modern Christian and hymns, not too loud, a nice blend of rock band and traditional so that it unites multi-​generations. The message all-​at-​once clear, funny, bible based, contemporary, non-​judgmental, and sends you out into the world to do good. It is clear that all are welcome, and loved, here. A great place to grow.
