Anti-Racism Trust Team
A Presbyterian Session is the ruling body of the local church. At Montview, our Session is made up of the current Elders and Co-Pastors. The Elders are nominated and elected into their positions typically for three-year terms. At any given time, there are fifteen members of Session, consisting of twelve adult Elders, one youth Elder and two Co-Pastors. These members make pertinent decisions for the church, having both executive powers as a group and pastoral responsibility.
History
Since its congregants first met to worship in a cloth-ceilinged tabernacle in 1902, Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church has maintained a mission of community outreach that has positively influenced the neighborhood and city of Denver.
Capital Campaign
As generations before us have stewarded Montview, so too must we. In serving the greater Denver and global community through mission, programming, and spiritual nourishment, we are a beacon of hope in a world striving for connection. As such, we embraced our responsibility as caretakers and embarked on a capital campaign with our eyes toward the next generation of Montview.
