Together the member denominations of the Colorado Council of Churches can be a clearer voice and stronger witness for justice for all of God’s children than any one denomination can be by itself. To make a witness on any issue, the Council must have a Public Policy Statement on that issue. Public policy statements are voted upon by each denomination (the denominational executive casts the vote. To be approved, no denomination can cast a dissenting vote. You can view each of our Public Policy Statements listed under the Publications tab above or click here.
In its fourth year, “Faithful Thursdays” is a diverse coalition of leaders, organizations and community members who are committed to adding a deeper, moral dimension to the public policy-making process in Colorado.
Our focus is to advance a faith narrative and collaborative process that supports a just economy, promotes equity, and eradicates racism in Colorado.
We will hold opening and closing multi-faith events, with some possible intermittent programming during the 2022 session of the Colorado General Assembly.
In case you missed it, here’s the video of our “Gathering of Gratitude, Lament, and Hope.”
