CCON History
In July of 1957, a few families began worshiping in the living room of a parsonage on the corner of 73rd & Lowell Boulevard. Soon the Westminster Church of the Nazarene was organized with 17 charter members. By Christmas 1957 we moved into a newly constructed fellowship hall that served as a sanctuary until 1960.
The attendance grew from 34 people in 1957 to 141 people in 1972. At this time the members voted to buy land on 104th Avenue and by August of 1977, Westminster Church relocated to a new sanctuary and educational facility at our present location with an attendance of 222.
With the expansion of a multi-purpose gymnasium/fellowship hall and additional educational space in 1995, the extension/renovation of our sanctuary and foyer in 2001, and remodel of our children’s area in 2005, we have increased in number to an attendance of nearly 1,000.
In March of 2007, we purchased property in the city of Broomfield, located at 156th Avenue and Huron Street, where we plan on expanding once again. Due to the city relocation from Westminster to Broomfield, it was necessary to consider a new name for our church. In the Spring of 2010 "The Crossing Church of the Nazarene" was presented to the District Advisory Board, passed by congregational vote in May and then in July was approved by the 2010 Colorado District Assembly. In September 2011 we officially adopted our new name.
The church has steadily grown and thrived because people continue to be transformed by God’s love and have found a home here. From the very beginning, God has given us people that love God, and love each other – a unique unity as we serve and grow in faith together.
