ABLE

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
LOVE FOR THE CITY.


Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

- Ephesians 3:20-21

God is opening doors for an exciting new season of ministry!

In 2025 we’ll welcome our friends and neighbors into a new Woodmen location in the heart of Colorado Springs. We recently entered into an agreement to purchase the First Christian Church property, located downtown at the northeast corner of East Platte Ave. and North Cascade Ave.



A NEW HUB FOR MINISTRY

We’re eager to begin a new season of ministry on this site that has hosted people of faith downtown since 1935. The renovated facility will be an inviting home base for the people of Woodmen Southwest, AND it will become a hub to reach and serve those who live, work and play downtown. This strategic location also presents unique, missional opportunities to partner with downtown-based organizations caring for people in need.
 
We’re currently in the due-diligence phase of this transaction. There’s still a long way to go. Will you join us in thanking the Lord for bringing us this far and asking for His favor throughout the process?

LAYING A FOUNDATION

We believe God is uniquely using the people and ministry of Woodmen to share His love with our neighbors across the Pikes Peak region and beyond. Thank you for the ways you are loving well! In January 2025, we’ll launch a three-year capital funding initiative to lay the foundation for a bright future of ministry for generations to come. As we come together to give generously, the initiative will multiply ministry in two ways:

  • We’ll fund the purchase of the downtown campus site — a home base for us to reach into the heart of Colorado Springs, a pivotal neighborhood at the intersection of culture, business and government leadership, social life and deep need.
  • We’ll look to eliminate all Woodmen debt, freeing us to fully focus resources on ministry and new opportunities to love well and change lives through Christ in the years ahead. Imagine what God might do!
Although final figures are still coming in, we anticipate that the total cost to acquire the downtown site and to wipe out all Woodmen debt will come to approximately $10 million. That’s a big number, but we have a bigger God! And with folks from every Woodmen campus pitching in, there will be a lot of us uniting behind this goal. We’ve seen the Lord move in mighty ways through the 45-year history of Woodmen, and, in faith, we believe He will guide our steps once again in this new venture.
