We Believe in the Power of Community
to create Positive Change.
A Church, Inc is a community project that works to promote connection and provide an open space for nonprofits, civic groups and individuals working for positive change. A Church also hosts weddings, events, private parties, lectures/discussions and music.
Our multi tiered stage, professional sound and lighting will make A Church the event space for you.
It is hosted in a historic church in downtown Salida, Colorado.
In 2016, local residents Sheree Beddingfield purchased the church with a vision of preserving the existing building while supporting community arts, recreation, social service and education efforts. She envisioned an inclusive gathering space that could be used for organizing, for celebration, for mourning, and connecting with others.
A church is a “real” church, including registered nonprofit status, with a unique position – faith in community and promotion of spiritual diversity. We are an open-minded, open-hearted place to gather with others to share ideas, deepen our understanding, connect with people that we live with, and to consciously give back to the town of Salida that we love.
