 Colorado Episcopal Service Corps embraces and celebrates the diversity of Colorado, from ranchers and snowboarders to city folk and college communities. Colorado has vegans and cattle ranchers, we have mountains and prairies. The world’s billionaires play on our slopes and our undocumented workers, working poor and homeless struggle to make it through each day. Our program engages in this diversity around the state, with all of God’s children, rich and poor, while participating in common prayer and spiritual practice.

Colorado Episcopal Service Corps engages young adults with a compelling program of spiritual formation, Rule of Life, and outstanding opportunities for service and reflection. In the process, Colorado Episcopal Service Corps is tapping into some of the most vibrant communities and churches in the diocese.

Our corps members live in intentional community in a house called St. Columba. It is located near the historic Baker neighborhood in downtown Denver. They serve as contributing volunteers at our partner agencies for the duration of their year with Colorado Episcopal Service Corps.
