Book Description
Colorado's houses of worship reflect the same trademark resourcefulness and fortitude that the pioneers and history makers demonstrated throughout the state's history. Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, established in 1854, remains the state's oldest church. Formed by a group of African American settlers, including former slaves, Zion Baptist became Colorado's first black congregation on November 15, 1865. On May 23, 1868, famed frontiersman Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the historic chapel at Fort Lyon. And thanks to con artist Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith, who raised $600, Creede erected its first church in 1892. From notable parishioners to murders in two separate Denver churches, historian Linda Wommack surveys the heritage and wealth of holy houses in the Mile High State.

Faith in High Places
Author: Jean Goodwin Messinger
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781570980138
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In addition to majestic mountains and colorful terrain, Colorado's landscapes are scattered with rural and small-town churches. This book is filled with little-known historical anecdotes about the structures, the people, and places associated with them, and the colorful, often heroic, itinerant preachers who brought religion to the frontier. Color and black and white photographs reveal a surprising multi-ethnic character of early Colorado. Faith in High Places fills an otherwise undocumented niche in Colorado History.

Author: Sherri J. Moore
Publisher: Andborough Publishing, LLC
ISBN: 9780977418138
Category : Church buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
With wonderfully hand-painted watercolor images, Foundations of His Purpose celebrates the rich history of early churches in the Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, and Fountain areas of Colorado and is dedicated to all of the early Christians, Jews and free thinkers who mapped out foundations, gathered stones, sawed boards and hammered nails so they could have a place to worship. Once called the "City of Churches, Colorado Springs, Colorado enjoys a mild climate and breathtaking vistas while tucked against the base of its picturesque backdrop, Pikes Peak. When General William Jackson Palmer chose the fl at plain above Monument Creek for his new Fountain Colony, incorporated as Colorado Springs in 1872, he envisioned a town of law and order. It was to be a place for families, schools, libraries, parks, and churches. Lots were given to anyone or any group who wanted to build a church and citizens of "good moral character and strict temperance habits" were purposely sought to settle the town.
