Our History
In 1962, a group of about 30 Christians began holding a Sunday School in the Littleton YMCA on Sunday mornings. On Sunday nights, several of the men met for prayer at the home of Herb and Alice Banks to seek the Lord's will regarding starting a local church with a full schedule of services. The group incorporated as Littleton Bible Chapel (LBC) later that year.
For approximately six years, the church met at the Littleton YMCA and Mark Hopkins Elementary School on Sundays and assembled mid-week in the basement of the Banks home. The church continued to grow, and they purchased the current property in 1968—and the original building was opened in 1969.
Based upon the conviction that the Church spreads not through larger buildings alone, but rather best though multiple independent churches, in 2014 Orchard Bible Church was planted as a second church in Littleton.
In 2018, Lakewood Bible Chapel opened in Lakewood as a next step in planting a third church in Colorado allowing for more growth and further spread of the Gospel.
In approximately 2020, the elders of LBC believed that the Lord was leading LBC to again plant another local church. Through various means, we believe the Lord directed us to select the location of Castle Rock and in 2024, LBC sent approximately 15 families to plant the current church— Castle Rock Bible Chapel (CRBC). In accordance with the Lord’s will, it is the deep hope of CRBC to continue this vision of independent church planting in the local area.
