Flatirons Community Church, Church in Lafayette, Colorado, United States
Flatirons Community Church is a large church in Lafayette, Colorado, about 10 miles east of Boulder. It occupies a wide, low building with a tan brick facade and a prominent white sign that reads "FLATIRONS COMMUNITY CHURCH" in black letters, with an orange semicircle and jagged white shape on the left.
The congregation started in the mid-1990s and met under different names before adopting the name Flatirons Community Church by the late 1990s. In the late 2000s, after concerns about traffic and building scale, the church chose to renovate two vacant retail buildings in Lafayette instead of building new facilities.
The church is known for its contemporary worship music and multi-campus organization, with services that feel more like a concert than a traditional ceremony. The name comes from the Flatirons, the rocky formations near Boulder, and the church has become a gathering point for people from across the Denver area.
The church is easy to reach by car and has parking around the building. Visitors can enter through the main glass doors under the sign, and the campus is designed for large crowds, so follow the signs for the auditorium and other areas.
The main auditorium seats about 4,300 people, making it one of the largest church spaces in the area. The building was once a big-box retail store, and the church turned it into a worship and education campus of roughly 160,000 square feet.
