LaPorte Church of Christ, Independent religious center in LaPorte, Colorado.
LaPorte Church of Christ is an independent Protestant congregation on South Broadway Street in LaPorte, Colorado, housed in a plain brick building. The space is used for weekly worship services and Bible study gatherings open to the local community.
The congregation was founded in 1977 by Peter J. Peters, who had trained at the Church of Christ Bible Training School in Nebraska. He led the church for more than three decades and shaped its direction throughout that time.
The congregation runs a shortwave radio program called Scriptures for America, which carries its message to listeners far beyond Colorado. Visitors to the church can often find printed materials related to this outreach effort on display.
The church sits along South Broadway Street and is easy to reach by car. It is a good idea to confirm current service times before visiting, as schedules can vary throughout the year.
In the 1990s, Colorado state authorities moved to seize the church property over unpaid fines linked to election law violations. The case became a publicly known legal dispute in the state.
