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
Mission Trip Selfies
No form of summer social media sharing is more common than the mission trip selfie. But these types of photos often bring up questions of motivation and heart. Jonathan shares his thoughts on selfies and Pulpit Rock’s approach to short term mission trips.
Haiti 2018
In June, ten members of our church went on a trip to Haiti with Mission of Hope. They visited homes, hosted a Kids Club, distributed solar lights, water filters and goats. Here are a few snapshots of the trip.
Taste and See
Like a father grilling steaks in the backyard, God was leaning over, wearing His “BEST DAD EVER” barbecue apron, to give us a warm, sizzling taste of the amazing meal He has waiting. This was a taste of what is to come, and we didn’t know it then, but we would be getting tastes like that all week.
An Ordinary Cardboard Box
Cardboard boxes, shoeboxes to be specific, unveil miracles. My friend, Lilian, was carrying some of those boxes in the trunk of an old Venezuelan taxi. She smiled as she looked back through the rear window. Through the dust, she could see another taxi carrying her friends, and like her, carrying more boxes for an organization called Operation Christmas Child.
Welcome to Hell
When I first heard we were going ‘undercover’ with the Exodus Road I had visions of grandeur. I saw myself as Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis, wearing a ‘Murica’ t-shirt and kicking some serious butt. But instead of being a hero, I just sat with them like Jesus would and shared communion with prostitutes and pimps.
Invited to Their Table
For the past couple months, Thomas has been walking us through all the times when Jesus met people at tables and the importance of what he accomplished over food. Although we have been focusing on who we can invite to our table, sometimes instead we might be is invited to their table.
