Visitors: The chapel with a VIEW of God's Country is located on the Fort Lewis College Campus - easy access so please join us.
Access from most Durango area motels on a Sunday is about a 15 minute drive - ask your host for directions to Fort Lewis College and "College Drive." FYI, There is a steep entry on the South rim and an much easier (gradual grade) curls behind the college campus then loops around the campus to the golf course and then on to the chapel.
Church Services:
Service is Bible based and the initial series of sermons will bring into focus WHY religion today? Why Christianity? Why you? Why us?
Did the famous events and people of the Bible really exist? What are the facts vs. Hollywood i.e. the Da Vinci Code and The Bloodline of he Holy Grail? WE examine the teachings and morality of the Bible, of course, while including the contributions to Christianity of relevant external literature: i.e.- the Dead Sea Scrolls, Aramaic New Testament, Biblical Archeology, the ancient Egyptian record and more - to answer the questions college level students have of 'WHY.... and why me ...now?
Mission Statement: John 13:34-35. "34 A New Commandment I give unto you that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another 14 by this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have loved one to another." NKJV, and
We will endeavor to deepen our faith through our worshiping experiences to make a positive impact with both our neighbors and the nations of the world, for in the greater view, failure of family, religion, ethics and social morality is not an option.
Our doors will be wide open to people of all backgrounds and Godly disciplines. We welcome the opportunity to inform, support, refresh and equip you to fulfill your God-given destiny. We look forward to seeing you at one of our services or community events this fall.
Please take the opportunity email us for any questions or comments to: Rev. Nick at gcfcchapel.info (you may have to type that into your email client.)
NOTE: Currently Catholic Services and Newman Center (Club) activities are scheduled in the afternoon including Mass at 6:00 PM

Charter Members:
Proverbs 3:1-10
Faithful individuals and philanthropic entities will be recognized as "Charter Members" of the G.C.F. Church - FLC Chapel. The goal is to enjoy the support of 50 charter members to sustain services throughout the college terms and, we pray, all year.
Individuals (except those church supporters at a distance or out of state) that attend services on a regular basis and contribute one month's overhead (est. ~= $250.00) will receive a Charter Member Certificate. This certificate acknowledges and honors one's grace, support and commitment and is proof of one's moral character, social maturity, community service and leadership resume; Proverbs 3:1-10.
Community and corporate organizations can become God's Country Fellowship Church charter members via their donations - regardless of any personal church affiliation.
The preliminary annual budget for two college terms for direct overhead expenses including FLC Chapel rent, State and Federal registration fees, and many cumulative incidentals (excepting any compensation) is ~= $4,000 a semester. Currently all expenses* are being met by Nick and Kathleen Federspiel and charter members - your help will be appreciated!!
Nick is a charter member of Grace Community Church of Plano, Texas - when the congregation was less than 20 persons and G.C.Church now supports the Christian needs of over 2,700. Chartering a church is one of God's great blessings; 2 Corinthians 9:7.
*Note 1: Victory New Testament Fellowship International, as its mission commitment to new churches, proves all attorney services in support of State and Federal registrations.
Note 2: IRS 501 C3 rules do not allow contributions in kind, thus when appropriate, circular checks are issued and verified by V.N.T.F. Int'l before submitting the annual informative tax returns required by law.
