Campus Layout

We recognize our campus can be a bit confusing. Most of our worship services are held in the Sanctuary and FLC (and the Arbor in the Summer months). These two buildings are connected by a set of interior stairs. The easiest entrances to the Sanctuary are by the doors closest to NC Business 16. You may get to them via the sidewalk in front of the chapel, or by the garden space between the Chapel and Sanctuary. The easiest entrances to the FLC are by the doors closest to the parking lots. Our buildings are usually bustling with friendly people who are more than willing to help you find your destination!

  • Where do we go?

    This campus is huge! Don't be intimidated... we want to help you!  


    Our 8:00 and 11:00 services are located in the Sanctuary. You can enter the Sanctuary from the multiple sets of double doors closest to hwy 16.  


    The 9:00 service is located in the FLC. You can enter the FLC by the doors under the overhang located beside the Fire Department. There is parking around both sides of the building. During the summer this service is held outside at the Arbor.



    If you need anything throughout the morning just stop by one of our Welcome Centers (located in the lobbies), or just ask anyone with a Denver UMC lanyard or name tag. We’re a friendly family, and we’d love to serve you!

  • What about our kids?

    The children and youth experiences at Denver UMC are designed for birth through high school. No matter what age, your child will experience engaging age-appropriate teaching, music, and activities all created to point your child toward a real relationship with Jesus.
