About BRAVE

WHO WE ARE...

We strive to be most courageous Word and Spirit ministry in the world that provokes biblical conviction to action, especially targeting men, so that together we advance the Kingdom through the Church with the Gospel. We are bold firebrands, prophets, soldiers, and prayer warriors who risk everything to overcome what’s in the way from seeing generations of BRAVE disciples of Jesus Christ everywhere we go.

We proclaim the uncompromising hope of the Gospel, challenging people to pursue their God-given identity and fearlessly take the next step toward Christ.

We are intentional to lead people through expectant preaching, praying, evangelizing, and worship because as men go, so goes the Church. And as the Church goes, so goes the world. God created man first with a responsibility to bring the word to his family, and men have been failing ever since the very first man was created. That failure doesn't change God's command for men to bring the Word to the world. When godly men do what God asks of them, they in turn elevate their wives, their families, and ultimately the world so that everybody can be the fullness of everything God wants them to be.

Our relentless adherence to the Word rallies people to a passion for the truth, compelling them to go and take the hill. With unprecedented growth, we are authentic to unleash daring followers of Jesus, resulting in exponential transformation. And we are just getting started…

OUR HISTORY

BRAVE Church located in the Denver Metro area launched in 2010 after Dr. Jeff Schwarzentraub with his wife Kimberly, sensed the Lord was calling them to plant a church in Denver. They left the Midwest in 2010 and quickly formed a small core group committed to reaching the greater Denver area with the good news of Jesus Christ. The first service was held on November 7, 2010 at Cherry Creek High School. In 2013, through an incredible work of the Lord, BRAVE was able to purchase their first building in Englewood. In April of 2016, the Broomfield Campus was launched as part of a larger vision to plant multiple campuses throughout the front range. In 2020, BRAVE experienced rapid growth following the shutdowns, which led to the need for larger spaces for both campuses. In 2022, the Lord provided the opportunity for each campus to move into new buildings, in which they both currently reside. The Colorado Springs campus was added in 2023. Today, thousands of worshippers call BRAVE their home, both in person and online, and together they strive to glorify God by challenging BRAVE Warriors for Courageous Kingdom Advancement.
