First Presbyterian Church of Boulder

This church is solid. It is trustworthy. They care about people and about praising God. There are all ages of people who come here, but typically the early service has more older people, the second service has more families… But it’s scattered. They have an awesome college service on Tuesday. I went for 4 years and loved it.
Overall, this place is biblical and trustworthy… They really put themselves above all the greed and corruption that some churches get into. They won’t say anything to get attention for themselves– they purely want to worship God.

It had been nearly 20 years since I attended church on a regular basis. My wife and I married at First Pres (she grew up in this church) and in the process, I discovered a new reason to actually like going to church again.
There’s a lively energy here. People of all different age groups and generations commingle together in a comfortable family atmosphere. And the location right in the middle of Boulder is great. I can’t stress enough how awesome the atmosphere is here.
We’ve since moved to another state and are trying to find a church like First Pres, but there just aren’t many places like this one. We miss the energy and the pastors. For a Unilocal rating, I give it 5 out of 5 stars because for me it’s really as good as it gets. Wish there were more churches like First Pres of Boulder.

2012 Review #45:
This might sound ridiculous, but this is one of the few churches I’ve encountered that acts Christian in nature. You’d think most churches would act that way. Well, maybe you wouldn’t, but First Pres certainly does.
I only came here a couple times for services, but I did spend a long time rehearsing in the First Presbyterian spaces. The orchestra I rehearsed with was able to rehearse in First Pres for free once-​twice a week in 1 – 2 spaces, simply by providing music for a few specified events. We never had conflicts in our space, and we were able to use the space for free for concerts. This is a big deal for a community orchestra because it meant we got to benefit a lot more from our ticket sales, without using the bulk of it to pay for rehearsal space.
We were able to host fundraisers and silent auctions in the main lobby in addition to our concerts, and we never had issues using Sunday School rooms, parking lots, etc. The church has an annex of space across the street and we were also able to access that. When I participated in services here (as a musician), they were on time, were also not too long, went according to our itinerary and were concise in their message and direction. I’m not a church-​goer, but I felt this space was accepting and welcoming.
