Our History
The Church at Loveland began in 1981, when several people started meeting in homes and a bank basement in Berthoud, Colorado. In 1987, we purchased the building at 745 E. 5th St. in Loveland, Colorado. As time has went on, we found it necessary to get a larger facility. In the spring of 2001, land was purchased. On October 27th, 2004 we sold the building on 5th Street and met in Walt Clark Middle School for 3 years and we are now in the new building.
Our congregation seeks to follow the Biblical pattern of church organization.
Like the churches in the first century (Ephesians 4:11-12), our church has an evangelist, and deacons to oversee the needs of our membership.Gary Nichols, and his wife Arla, have been serving in the Lord's church for 38 years. Gary graduated from Bible college in 1972 and started a church in Wheatland, Wyoming. They ministered there for 5 years, then uprooted with their 2 young sons, Lloyd and Greg, to Nebraska, where their daughter, Jana, was born. From Nebraska, they moved to Ohio and then on to Berthoud. Gary humbly seeks to follow the qualifications for ministers that are recorded in II Timothy 2:24-25.
Our Deacons meet the qualifications of leadership that are recorded in I Timothy 3:8-13.
At this time, our congregation is blessed
to have 2 ordained deacons: Ron Hansen and Lloyd Nichols.
Other men and women also serve as ministry leaders.
