Chaplain Services at Holly Creek
As a faith-based organization, Christian Living Communities (CLC), our parent organization, fosters an environment where each personal can express or explore spirituality and grow in their own faith journey. We provide worship services as well as staff chaplains who can minister to personal and spiritual needs. We pursue the highest standard of conduct, respect, and compassion in our communities.
We are open to all faiths and perspectives and do not require residents and clients to exercise a certain belief.
Our parent organization, Christian Living Communities (CLC), was founded in 1972 by a group of committed people from local Denver churches. Their vision for The University Hills Christian Nursing Home (now Clermont Park) was to create a caring community for older adults that would reflect deep Christian values of love, respect, and compassion. Today, CLC still uses the word “Christian” in its name because this founding vision remains at the heart of our organization.
Those who had this original vision were from the Christian Reformed Church (CRC) and the Reformed Church in America (RCA). While CLC is not, and never have been, a church-run organization, we still have an affiliation with our founding faith communities.
Who Lives at Holly Creek?
Holly Creek welcomes individuals of all faith traditions and spiritual practices, reflecting CLC’s mission of extending the Christian values of love, respect, and compassion toward each individual. Residents come from a variety of backgrounds, and there is a great diversity of faith and practice here. Our chaplain team provides opportunities for residents to deepen their own spiritual journeys, whatever those may be, if they choose to.
Our services include a professional Chaplain team. Part of their training is to help meet each person’s unique spiritual/religious needs. They can assist each person, no matter their faith background, to connect to local clergy or faith community if desired.
Holly Creek’s Quiet Waters Retreat (pictured), a nature-centered space spearheaded by residents, was created to provide residents of all backgrounds and beliefs a peaceful haven for prayer, meditation, and reflection.
