About Shanah City Church

A Spirit-filled church in the heart of Aurora, Colorado, raising disciples who love God, love people and transform our city.

Our Story

How It All Began

Shanah City Church began in 2018 with a handful of families, a rented room, and a conviction that Aurora needed a church where the presence of God was welcomed without apology and every person was genuinely known.

The word Shanah carries the sense of a new season — of change, repetition made new, of God doing something fresh. That is what we prayed for then and it is what we keep praying now: that no one would leave this house the same as they came in.

Today we are a multicultural family drawn from more than eighteen nations, gathering every Sunday to worship, to open the Bible together, and to work out what it means to follow Jesus in this city.

“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.”Jeremiah 17:8

What Drives Us

Mission, Vision & Values

Three simple statements that shape every decision we make as a church.

Our Mission

To raise disciples who love God, love people, and transform our city and the world — one changed life at a time.

Our Vision

A Spirit-filled church at the centre of a transformed Aurora: a house of prayer, a place of belonging, and a launching pad for people sent into every corner of the city.

Our Values

Presence over performance. People over programmes. Scripture above opinion. Generosity as a lifestyle. Excellence without pretence.

What Makes Us Different

A Church You Can Actually Belong To

Plenty of churches say these things. Here is how we work to make them true.

Spirit-Filled

We make real room for the Holy Spirit to move — in worship, in prayer, and in ordinary Tuesday moments.

Bible-Centred

Every message is anchored in Scripture and built to be lived out, not just admired.

Multicultural

More than eighteen nations are represented in this house, and that shapes how we worship, eat and lead.

Family-Centred

Children are not an afterthought here. Every age group is resourced, staffed and taken seriously.
