Trinity United Methodist Church — Attraction in Denver

Trinity United Methodist Church is a beautiful, 100+ year old building in downtown Denver with some of the most amazing stained glass windows I have seen outside of European cathedrals. If you're fortunate enough to be there during a service or a concert, the organ music is soul-touching. It is a church deeply rooted in the history of Colorado, and its voice in the Denver community is an important one, with a contemporary Christian message.

Worship at Trinity is highly traditional, matching the feel of its historic interior. However, I have found through years of attending service and participating in church activities, that this is a congregation filled with opportunities to experience God and faith in a variety of ways. There are academic study classes and contemplative/meditative times; active service projects and artistic personal journeys; groups for families and opportunities to make new friends as an adult; beautiful music in the air and amber-colored light flooding the windows. People at Trinity seem to have a variety of ways of expressing a singular faith, which has enriched my own faith journey in this community.

This beautiful, historic church in downtown Denver represents the first religious organization in the City, dating to a small service in a log cabin in 1858. The present sanctuary was completed in 1888. The building was designed by Robert Roeschlaub in the Modern Gothic style using Castle Rock rhyolite. The rococo interior incorporates many Arts and Crafts elements. The Roosevelt organ dates from the building's construction and has 4,202 pipes. It has been carefully maintained in its original, Victorian tonal specifications with modern mechanical updates from the original dynamo turned by a water wheel in the basement.

The majority of the stained glass uses colored and textured opalescent glass, typical of the Arts and Crafts movement, although the Resurrection window in the west balcony is more traditional painted glass. The interior carvings are also classic Arts and Crafts motifs, all carefully specified by the architect. The sanctuary and exterior have been meticulously preserved by the congregation and are in extraordinary condition.

Trinity has a very active music program with 14 different performing groups within the congregation and a busy concert series featuring outside performers and groups. The acoustics in the auditorium are excellent and a chance to hear the historic organ is...
