Each Sunday nearly 1000 people attend the Boulder Campus for worship services and classes. Friends and members flood into our building through five or six different entries. No single space now serves as the main entrance or gathering place for visitors and members to connect to our ministry. It's necessary to know your way around the building before you venture into the gymnasium on Sundays, which doubles as our Café.
We envision a new Atrium on the West side of our building which would serve as a primary entrance for visitors and a strategic place for all of us to connect. Because we're committed to building a community where loving relationships are cultivated and new people are welcomed, this space would provide the opportunity for conversations to linger and for people to connect and pray together. This open, bright, and window filled space would serve as our Café on Sunday mornings; a place where people have the freedom to belong even if they have not yet come to believe all that we hold dear. Additionally, the Atrium would enhance the flow of movement in and out of our services and serve as a new secure entry to the children's department.
The Boulder campus is used extensively during the week for our own ministries as well as for community events. Each week, hundreds of women gather for our Women to Women Bible Study, middle school and high school students meet together in a place that's geared for them, young moms invite their friends to join them at MOPs, and young adults connect and study the Bible together. As a part of our commitment to be externally focused, Calvary opens its doors to a variety of community agencies to use our facilities free of charge. We offer premium meeting space in our Fellowship Hall, classrooms and gym. The addition of an attractive Atrium would further our efforts to host community events and continue our partnership with these agencies.
