Our Story
We’re a family of real people learning to follow Jesus.
Students and grandparents. Families with loud toddlers and singles looking for community. Lifelong believers and honest skeptics still working out what their faith journey looks like.
For more than forty years, Church of the Lookout has been a Spirit-filled Christian church in Boulder County — and what holds us together isn’t that we have it all figured out. It’s that we’re convinced God loves us more than we could ever imagine, no matter where we are.
Wherever you’re starting from, there’s a seat here for you.
Why we’re called the Lookout
Our name comes from a vineyard set on a hill…
The one I love had a vineyard, a fine, well-placed vineyard.
He hoed the soil and pulled the weeds, and planted the very best vines.
He built a lookout, built a winepress, a vineyard to be proud of.
Isaiah 5:1-2 (MSG)
A lookout is a place set on a hill — tended with care, built to watch and to flourish. That’s our hope for this church: rooted deep in God’s presence, growing into a real family, and looking outward to love Boulder County well.
Our Vision is Jesus
Abiding in His presence, growing in His family, & living on His mission to transform the world with
awe-inspiring love.
Presence of God
Our roots are in the Presence of God – bringing life, shape, and breath to who we are and what we do. We live out of our gospel identities as dearly loved sons and daughters of God, seeking to bring heaven to every square inch of earth.
Family of God
From our roots we grow into a strong, unified trunk. We are more than a collection of individuals on separate paths. We are growing into a kingdom family, walking together in love, honor, and unity.
Mission of God
Like branches we are sent out from the trunk in the power of the Spirit to be messengers of God’s love in the world. We go with humility and boldness to our neighborhoods, nations, and next generation.
