Plan Your Visit
Meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating.
And going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking.
We know this, and we want to do everything we can to help you feel welcome and at home at Nova Church!
Sunday nights at 5:00pm
Nova Church’s weekly worship gathering is a Sunday night service.
Location and Directions
Nova Church gathers for worship in central Denver in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, just a short walk from Cheesman Park. We meet in the Fireside Room inside the historic Corona Presbyterian Church building at the corner of 8th Avenue and Downing Street, across the street from Dora Moore School.
Parking and Transportation
Drive
The church parking lot is located directly north of the building, accessible from Downing Street.
-
There are other options if the church lot is full. Overflow parking is available in the staff lot at Dora Moore School (accessible from Downing Street).
Free 2-hour street parking is available on both sides of Downing Street. On weekends the far right lane of 8th Avenue becomes a parking lane, so you can street park on 8th.
Walk
Our worship gathering takes place in the highly walkable Capitol Hill neighborhood. If you live nearby, take a walk and make Nova your neighborhood church.
Bike
Ride to church! We’ve provided a bicycle rack at the northwest corner of our building. And bikes are welcome in the church lobby and our worship gathering space.
Public Transit
RTD offers two bus routes with stops within a block of our building: Bus 6 and Bus 12. You can use RTD’s trip planner to find your best route.

Our weekly worship gathering is in-person. We do not livestream our worship gathering.

Our worship gathering lasts around 1 hour.
A lot of us hang around after the service, so if you have time grab a snack or a drink and hang with us.

Come as you are! There’s no dress code here.

The service usually starts a few minutes after 5pm, so if you arrive by 5 you’ll have plenty of time to find a seat, use the restroom, and get comfortable.
If you want to check kids into the. nursery, you’ll want to give yourself an extra 5 minutes to go through the check-in process.
