ACC Loves Our Neighborhood

OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY

The love of God compels us to seek hope, justice, and good for those in our community and our neighbors. Investing your life is something bigger than yourself is a great way to experience God in your everyday. 

Arvada Covenant supports Arvada West High School staff, students, and parents by volunteering with school activities and meeting other needs.

The goal of the partnership is to show appreciation and support. Members assist with many different programs including hosting athletic team banquets, attending student class presentations, supporting After-Prom, and hosting/serving staff appreciation meals.

For additional information or to volunteer, contact Jim Baer or call him at (720) 937-5887. 

BeyondHome provides a comprehensive approach for families to become self-sufficient for life through a transitional housing program that focuses on education, housing, finances, and family.  Learn more at beyondhome.org or contact Vicky Reier to get involved.

The Comfort Quilters share God’s love through compassion, prayer, and hands-on service. Together, they create quilts stitched with care and infused with comforting Scripture for those facing hardship or grieving a loss. 

You don’t need sewing experience to be part of this ministry. Whether you can cut fabric, tie a knot, pin pieces together—or simply want to lend a helping hand—you are welcome. The Comfort Quilters gather on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 10 a.m. to noon. 

The group also welcomes donations of child-themed fabric (¾-yard or one-yard pieces), which are used to make pillowcases for Royal Family Kids, Children’s Hospital, and other organizations serving children in need. Contact: Martha Trapp, 720-394-4194.

Churches working together to transform lives and communities.

Love INC is a network of local churches and other organizations that supports those struggling in our community. Sometimes that can look like providing personal needs items, furniture, or transportation. Other times, it looks like offering educational classes, providing mentoring support, or walking alongside someone who’s grieving. But it’s always about leaning into our strengths and working together with others — because we are better together. Learn more at loveincgreaterarvada.org or contact Heather Weibel.

The overall goal is to create positive memories for abused children. We provide numerous volunteers so that each child receives personal attention during the camps. The program is extensive and includes fundraising, volunteer training, plus the week-long camp. Approximately 80-100 volunteers are required every year. For more information on how you may be one of the volunteers, contact Charlie Williams at 303-882-4491 or Connie Williams at 303 204-4669 or visit arvadaroyalfamilykids.org. 

King’s Team Camp is a one-week residential summer camp designed for graduates (ages 12-15) of the Royal Family Kids’ Camps. Teens are paired with an adult counselor. All counselors and staff are volunteers who have been carefully screened and trained to work with teens and teen-life issues. These teens will build relationships with adults, and other teens and experience God’s creation in a safe and wholesome environment at a camp near Estes Park. This results in a host of positive memories while building confidence and self-esteem. 

While at camp, the teens will receive individual attention and also participate in team-building activities, such as: swimming, hiking, challenge course, ropes course, rock climbing, rappelling, horseback riding, crafts, birthday party, Bible study, personal devotions, singing. 

For additional information or to volunteer visit kingsteamcamp.org .
