MP3denver.org

The mp3denver.org website is an online resource for those who attend the Denver MP3 Meetings to have consistent access to information about meeting locations and topics.

In addition to information on upcoming MP3 meetings we want this to be a site to communicate events and opportunities for the mission community in the Denver Metro area. Our goal is to be a ongoing resource for those serving and leading the missions community. We are not attempting to post every event for congregations or organizations; but we do hope this site will provide a hub of information for the missions community.

If you have information that you would like to make available via the mp3denver.org site please contact one of the MP3 leadership team.
