What does it mean to live sent?
At Pulpit Rock, we believe that 100% of us have already been SENT into our neighborhoods, workplaces and city. The greatest invitation we have to follow Jesus is to join God in His mission to bring redemption and beauty to a broken world.
Living as Kingdom people means that missions isn’t just for a few of us, it’s for every adult, student and child. That’s what we mean when we say 100% SENT.
There are lots of ways to live SENT! It might look like joining a serve day, connecting with neighbors, giving generously to God’s work around the world, going on a missions trip, praying, serving at a local school. It might look like something God has uniquely wired and formed in you that we haven’t even thought of yet.
At Pulpit Rock, we have lots of ways to invite you into what God is doing. We also want to coach, resource and help you discover the unique ways that YOU have been SENT so you can step into the fullness of this adventure of following Jesus.
Explore some ways our people are living SENT in Colorado Springs and around the world, and JOIN US!

Give
Did you know that in addition to normal giving (to support the operations and ministry of Pulpit Rock Church) we have special designated accounts where 100% of every dollar goes directly towards work in our city and around the world?
In the past 6 years, we’ve given away over $2M in funds through designated giving! That’s in addition to the $130,000+ we will invest this year alone in partner organizations and missionaries from our annual giving budget.
We have designated accounts connected to our current areas of focus and a designated missions account that you can give to support all year long...
100% of every dollar given for a specific purpose goes directly to that organization or ministry. Our regular budget funds things like admin and staff travel on missional trips, so we can ensure that every dollar makes it to the hands of those we are partnering with!
Stories of your Kingdom impact
SENT | Steve Coe | IDP Camps in Myanmar
Steve Coe teaches English to refugees in Internally Displaced People camps in Myanmar: “Thomas challenged us to think of what we are doing for God’s kingdom, then ask ourselves, “what more could I be doing?” The situation of the IDP’s in Kachin State literally came to my mind immediately.”
Re-Imagining Mission
Recently, one of our church members heard about a need for a keyboard for a retirement complex. She decided to do something. Are there ways you could announce the kingdom of God to your workplace, or soccer team, or at your gym? Pulpit Rock is hosting a conference to discuss this very question. We would love for you to attend.
Groundbreaking at Springs Rescue Mission
Over the past three years Pulpit Rock has been partnered in numerous ways with Springs Rescue Mission and their campus expansion in town. Last week Thomas and Kyle got to participate in a groundbreaking for phase two of the expansion – a $5.5 million project including a new dining facility and welcome center.
SENT | Jeff and Robin Gerke | It’s Going to Be Okay project
Jeff and Robin Gerke came up with a unique service project to bless kids in foster care and help the kids at our church learn about kindness: “The goal of It’s Going to Be Okay is to help foster kids know that they’re not forgotten and that comfort is available to them.”
DHS Kinship Family Celebration
Imagine an event where government, church, individuals, organizations, and local businesses all collaborated to love and spoil people needing some recognition. Seems a bit far-fetched, doesn’t it? That dream was reality at Pulpit Rock Church a few weeks ago. In December, Pulpit Rock was honored to host the DHS Kinship Family Celebration.
SENT | Salvation Army Meal Teams
Several teams from Pulpit Rock serve meals at the Salvation Army shelter every month: “Our small group wanted to find a way to serve, and providing a meal for Salvation Army fit perfectly. We are able to bring our families to serve and grow together. We have enjoyed doing this for over ten years.”
