Picture
​​Cameron UMC is a progressive Christian community committed to showing God's love and grace to all people. We believe faith is about asking questions of God, ourselves and each other. We believe faith is a journey, enriched through community. We believe that persons are changed along the journey of faith through God's love and grace, which is given to us new each day. 
We seek to create a safe, sacred space, so that each person can grow in faith, in love, and in their knowledge of God, and God's presence in the world.
Cameron UMC welcomes and honors everyone. We affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We strive to include all persons in loving regard to sexual orientation, race, nationality, gender, family configuration, ethnic background, economic circumstances, difference in ability, culture or age. Our love and acceptance of each other embody our commitment to building community and our unity in God.
​​Cameron Church is a vibrant spiritual community
that lovingly welcomes people from all backgrounds 
​to enrich their lives through exploring our ​Christian faith together.

OUR HISTORY

Picture
Picture
​The original congregation of just five members was organized on September 30, 1888 as Fleming’s Grove Methodist Church.

The church was renamed in 1890 after receiving what was then a monumental donation of $250 from our namesake, the Cameron family. That same year marked completion of the congregation’s first home which is now a private residence.

The present building was constructed between 1909 and 1913 at a cost of $35,000. University of Denver Chancellor H.A. Buchtel (for whom Buchtel Blvd. is named) laid the cornerstone for the church on March 9, 1913. The building was dedicated in July of that year by Rev. Thomas Corwin Iliff (cousin of John Wesley Iliff, the namesake of Iliff School of Theology and the Iliff Avenue).

​Cameron Church remains today as the oldest continuing Methodist congregation in south Denver. The current Cameron congregation includes an active membership from all over the Denver area and activities that reach out to the local South Pearl Street community and beyond to our global community.
