Get Involved
Because online scams are more and more common, we are reducing the number of email contacts on our webpage. Please reach out in person if you have an interest in connecting with a ministry, reach out to a staff email, or speak in person on a Sunday to one of the clergy or other leaders.
VESTRY STATEMENT
Our congregation is fully LBGTQ+ affirming. LGBTQ+ people are welcome to participate fully in our communal life and may take on leadership positions, be married, and receive all the means of grace available to all members of the community.
Volunteer for CU Football Games
We need 4-6 volunteers every game day to help manage our parking lot. Please reach out to office@saintaidans.org to let us know what game you can volunteer for.
Every individual volunteer for a game is giving the equivalent of thousands of dollars toward the St. Aidan’s Operating budget. This is another way to pledge and to support your church. Check the online calendar for updated kickoff times.

Serving & Connecting Groups
Sing in the Choir at St. Aidan's!
St. Augustine said, "[one] who sings, prays twice," and what a gift it is to pray and to sing.
The Choir rehearses on Wednesdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 9am (with reduced rehearsals in the summer). Music on Sundays semi-regularly Bluegrass and Gospel music. St. Aidan’s has a choral scholar program with CU Boulder that brings significant talent from nearby music students to our choir. All are welcome to sing praises and be part of making music! Contact music@saintaidans.org.
