Riverside Welcomes Dr. Lambert as Senior Pastor

By Jason Tipton

DENVER –Riverside Baptist Church announces Dr. Tony Lambert has accepted its invitation to become Riverside’s senior pastor.

 Since 1978 Dr. Lambert has served as a pastor in three regions of the country in churches ranging in size from 200 members to more than 8,000. As a result, he has learned the importance of flexibility and the need to apply different ministry styles to best fit the needs of each church and city, because each is unique. The one constant has been the Bible as his final authority.

Life Song Church Marks God's Faithfulness with Building Dedication

By Amber Cassady

Erie, Colo.- On June 10, the people of Life Song Church in the quaint, little town of Erie gathered at 470 Briggs Street just as they had for each of their Sunday morning services of the past five years. However, this Sunday was distinct among all other Sundays as Life Song Church could now claim the building as its own.

This day served as a marker, as titled by Pastor Matthew Boardwell, in which their community of believers can look on as a testament to the Lord’s faithfulness.  

Colorado Missions Offering Celebration

Dear Colorado Baptist Pastors and Ministry Leaders:

It is time to prepare for this year’s CELEBRATION of the Nicy Murphy Colorado Missions Offering.  I use the word “celebration” because this is a very special year for our offering.  This year Nicy Murphy celebrates her 100th birthday and we want all Colorado Baptists to celebrate with her.  It’s my desire that all our members have the opportunity to hear the impact this single woman has had and continues to have on our state and celebrate her life.

Not only is she a great missionary she is a gifted writer.  Much of this year’s promotion will center on Nicy’s definition of Colorado Missions:

“It is ministering to souls who live in the midst of mountain grandeur, but who never lift their “eyes unto the hills” from whence their help might come; who enjoy God’s placid lakes, tumbling streams and majestic waterfalls, but who have never drunk of the Water of Life; who shepherd the sheep on a thousand grassy hillsides, but who do not know the Good Shepherd; who reap the golden grain from the fertile plains, but who are starving for the Bread of Life.”  Nicy Murphy 1959

All Because of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

The stifling heat of summer makes you feel constantly moist; banana, coconut, and mango trees bearing fruit treasures on every corner; drenching monsoon rains swelling the enormous muddy rivers; dark skinned, brown eyed, black haired people everywhere giving you their “Salaam” (greeting of Peace); Not a mountain nor foothill in sight; This is obviously not Colorado.
