"THEN and NOW"

The Third Story (T3S) is a ministry to neighborhood kids in west Denver. We believe and live by the Hope of the Gospel. T3S is made up of three integrated components. Please click on the logos below to find out more about T3S.

T3S has its roots in West Side Ministries, a student-run outreach of Colorado Christian University. West Side Ministries (WSM) launched its charity work in 1993 with a group of students working in two adjoining inner city neighborhoods on Denver's west-side. For nearly twenty years WSM has facilitated Bible Clubs, Tutoring, Mentoring, Music Camp and Summer Opportunities for neighborhood kids. WSM's heart has been to build relationships that live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. WSM eventually grew to become "The Third Story, Inc.", a non-profit organization that was chartered in 1999. Presently we are deeply blessed to find our home at First Avenue Presbyterian Church.




Ever wonder what a day might be like on the west side? Come join us in story and snapshots to see what's going on. Visit often, pray for us and get to know the lives that fill our little corner of the world.



Looking for a place to SHINE? If you're searching for a way to share your heart, click for volunteer opportunities or for service projects. We are located in the heart of Urban Denver and fill the "cracks and crevices" of the basement of a 100+ year old church building. West Side Ministries (the ministry branch of The Third Story) and 1st Ave. Presbyterian Church are standing together to be a lighthouse in this city. Join us...every candle makes this neighborhood a little brighter.

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God.
The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate.
The real labor is to attend. In fact, to come awake.
Still more, to remain awake."
- CS Lewis
