We salute you!

Colorado Springs is the proud home of many military installations. With that pride comes the recognition that our military men and women and their families have unique gifts and challenges as they serve our country. Our military ministry is a place for both civilians and military families to gather for prayer, encouragement, and support. We would be honored to assist you and your family in connecting at Woodmen. If you are deploying or your spouse is deployed, please contact us so we can support and maintain contact with you.
