Student Center The Vernon and Ann Grounds Student Center is not simply a place for students to gather; it is a place where lives can be changed. With plenty of comfortable seating in an inviting atmosphere, the student center is a place where students learn from each other, challenge one another to grow spiritually, encourage one another to pursue their calling, and develop relationships that can last for a lifetime of ministry. As well, faculty members and seminary mentors have the opportunity to deepen their relationships with students through meaningful interaction in an informal setting. Fueling the sense of community and adding to the welcoming atmosphere is the Solid Grounds Coffee Stop, serving a variety of coffee drinks, breakfast foods, and lunch sandwiches.

DENVER AREA INFORMATION History of Denver Denver, the Mile High City, was founded on the site of a small Indian village at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. Originally a trade center for mountain mining camps of the 1859 gold rush, the town persevered despite flash floods, attacks of Plains Indians, and a devastating fire and drought. Early settlers and current Denver residents alike have enjoyed their location on the high plains at the foot of the spectacular Rocky Mountains. The History Colorado Center, located in downtown Denver, and other sites in mountain towns such as Central City, contribute to keeping Colorado's color- ful past alive.
