The move to use First Baptist Church's building is a strategic one, grounded in our mission to love God, love people, and make disciples. The leadership of Enjoy fell in love with this location for several reasons:

1. This building is more than just a structure; it’s a landmark of Grand Junction with a rich history. Preserving this building allows us to honor the past while providing a strong foundation for future generations. Originally constructed over a century ago, the walls echo with the voices of those who came before us, and now, we add our chapter to its ongoing story.
2. There is a growing trend of today’s generation longing for a return to the beauty and reverence embodied in classic church architecture. We've noticed a desire to move beyond modern design and embrace spaces that inspire awe and reflect the glory of God. There is good evidence to suggest that Gen Z actually prefers more traditional church architecture. By moving to this building, we are keeping in step with culture and positioning ourselves to strategically reach the unchurched and next generation for years to come.
3. The building's location in the heart of downtown Grand Junction allows us to continue to serve the city well. With the building just a few minutes from GJHS and CMU's campus, we are able to reach the teenagers and young adults of GJ. Additionally, the new building offers more space for EC Kids than ever before, providing a fun and safe environment for the youngest in our church family to meet Jesus.
4. With the increasing cost of rent at 2825 North Avenue, we knew we wouldn't be able to afford our current building much longer. At the same time, we are also outgrowing that space. The cost to share the building with FBC allows us to use our finances more wisely and keep building costs way down. With a sanctuary that seats over 400, we can continue to reach new people in our city for Jesus. By moving to this building, we can adjust our budget to invest financially into things that matter most.

We are so expectant for what the Lord will do in this space, and we are excited to partner with you to bring Heaven to Grand Junction.

Our first service at our new building will be June 30th at 9am. The address to the building is 720 Grand Avenue (First Baptist Church).

Our new service time will be 9am on Sundays. This will allow both churches to use the building, with FBC having their service at 11am.

We invite you to come to FUTURE DAY at the new building on Sunday, June 2nd at 12pm after service. Here you will have a chance to tour the the building, get questions answered, worship and pray in the sanctuary, and hear more about the transition and how we plan to use the building.

First and foremost, you can help by diligently praying for this transition. Pray that we would use this space to the glory of God and the city of Grand Junction would be reached through this move.

We're also looking for new volunteers to add to our team. As FBC is an old building (built in 1912!), it needs some TLC to be ready for a church congregation our size. We have a big checklist of things that need to be done around the building prior to moving in, and we'd love your help! We also need volunteers to regularly serve in parking, greeting, security, and on our refresh team. You can find a more detailed description of each team below. Fill out the form below to let us know you're interested.

Lastly, we are seeking to raise $10,000 to make this transition in a financially healthy way. Rooms need to be painted, signs need to be purchased, kids classrooms need new furniture, the technology in the sanctuary needs to be upgraded, and more. If you would like to give to support this move, you can do so here by selecting Vision (building fund).

Join us on Future Day at the new building (720 Grand Ave) on Sunday, June 2nd at 12pm to hear more about how you can get involved.

There are a few different options for parking. Here you can view and download a map of all parking options. There is also a video below.

• The parking directly behind the building is reserved for families with young children, people with disabilities, and the older folks in our church family.
• Our main parking lot is directly across the street in a big dirt lot along Grand Ave. Our parking team will be there to direct the flow of traffic and help ensure a stress-free parking experience.
• Overflow parking is available at the library off of 6th street, a 5 minute walk from the building. We also invite you to park downtown along Main Street and walk. Who doesn't love picking up a coffee on their way to church?

More than ever before! We will have an entire EC Kids wing downstairs with amazing classrooms and a gym for them to play in.

However, we need help to get the space ready for our kiddos. You can help by donating to our vision fund, painting hallways and classrooms, moving furniture, and cleaning and organizing. 

Yep! Our plan all along has been to maintain our usual Sunday gathering while implementing House Churches across the Valley. This is still the case. We will continue to meet in House Churches and also have a weekly gathering on Sunday mornings at 9am.

Nope! First Baptist is graciously allowing us to use their building, but we will remain Enjoy Church and they will remain First Baptist Church.

There is an elevator entrance located outside right next to the accessible parking spaces. This elevator can take individuals to every level within the church building.

We have an Enjoy office set up and access all week long!

First Baptist Church does a phenomenal job at stewarding their building to the glory of God, and many different groups + organizations have access at various times throughout the week.

Calendar permitting, we are free to schedule events at the building any time.
