What Are We About?
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God 1 Cor. 10:31

The purpose of Providence is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. That is the goal of all churches through the ages. A goal renewed in the Reformation. A goal rooted in God's providence. And providence is a doctrine we do not fear but heartily embrace. If God be for us, who can be against us? We can stand sure in His immutable promises and glorify Him in all things.

Glorifying God means two things: evangelism and discipleship.  Evangelism is about bringing the demands of the Law and the sweetness of the Gospel to a dying world. This is accomplished through our members’ spontaneous witnessing in every day life and through our college ministry at the Auraria campus and through our annual Spring Conference.  Discipleship is about growing in grace and truth as a Christian.  This is accomplished through public worship, Sunday school, private family devotions, bible studies, fellowship, Fall Family Camp and our bi-weekly electronic newsletter. Both activities are commanded by God and embraced by our church.

Pastors

We have been especially blessed by our Heavenly Father with two pastors.  As the senior, Dr.Coppes preaches every other morning with pastor Mathis leading the worship service. Pastor Mathis preaches the second and last Sunday evenings. Both pastors teach Sunday School (adult and young adults/teenagers).  Both lead Bible studies and are available for Bible studies, group lectures or simply questions about life.

Born January 11, 1972 in Spartenburg, SC, Shawn Mathis was raised in a military home. In 1979 his family moved to Colorado, became Christians and joined a local Charismatic church. After graduation, he joined the Air Force, read Banner of Truth and discovered a book labeled, Ten Points of Calvinism. After an honorable discharge in 1994 he found the author of that book and attended Providence. There his life was challenged by preaching, by friends, and especially by his lovely wife-to-be who challenged his charismatic ways. Over time, others in the church recognized God’s gifts and nominated him for deacon, then ruling elder. Finally, Dr. Coppes brought Shawn under his godly and learned wings, mentoring him for the ministry.

Pastor Mathis has preached at various churches in the Denver metro area and other cites in Colorado. He also writes as an apologist for a national news source. He tutors critical thinking, early American history and Bible and theology (303.900.2027).
