About Grace & Life Church

Is Iglesia Gracia y Vida a Christian Church?

Iglesia Gracia y Vida History

OUR MISSION

To make Christlike Disciples of the Nations.

Iglesia Gracia y Vida (Grace and Life Church) is a Spanish language community of Christians that belongs to the Church of the Nazarene. We commit to be disciples of Jesus and to invite others to be His disciples. Christian discipleship is a lifestyle. It is the process where God shows us how to live for Him in this world. 

We begin by learning how to live radiant lives full of the Holy Spirit, in obedience to the Word of God, in submission to the disciplines of faith, and buoyed up by the fellowship of the brethren. That results in the ongoing joy and freedom of the Christian experience.

How We Started

In 1926, members of the Church of the Nazarene established the Lowell Boulevard Church of the Nazarene in the Denver Westwood Neighborhood. In April of 1984, the church changed its name to Grace Church of the Nazarene. In 1994, Grace Church moved to its current location at 4201 W. Kentucky Ave. It existed for all those years as an English language church.  

 In 2002, Grace Church of the Nazarene called Rev. Scott Carranza to the pastorate. Before accepting this call, he was the Spanish Pastor of Ministerios Cristianos Vida Nueva (New Life Christian Ministries). His Spanish flock came with him to their new home. In 2009, the Spanish Church changed its name to Iglesia Gracia y Vida (Grace and Life Church) to identify with its new home while retaining a piece of its history.

 In 2013, Pastor Scott registered this name in English with the I.R.S. Iglesia Gracia y Vida is currently a D.B.A. of Grace and Life Church, even though now the church conducts only Spanish services.
