Located at the foot of the majestic Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, RBCNC began as a small house church in the winter of 2001. The desire was to plant a distinctively Reformed and Baptistic church, something that was and is still difficult to find in the state of Colorado.

 

Having been sent out by our brothers and sisters at Harvest Baptist Church, we first met in the house of Peter and Joyce Van Dorn. For three years we met in the country, until a small church in Longmont Colorado came up for rent. Four years later, an opportunity arose for us to move locations again, this time renting from the Rivendell College, a Christian extension program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Unfortunately, the school ran into some hard times and three years later they had to sell the old Bethany Baptist Church building in south Boulder. Having a unique history with our sending church, we began renting from our old friends, thereby sharing space with Harvest Baptist where we were until May 2026. At that time, Harvest decided to give the building to another church in their denomination. We relocated to the Fairview Bible Chapel property about filve miles south and closer to the city of Boulder again. 2026 is our 25th year as a church. Pastor Doug Van Dorn has been the pastor since its inception.
