Did you know we’re one of the first Miracle study groups in the country to have our own building? Curious how it came to be? It all started back in 1945 when the building was constructed for “The Church of Practical Religion.” The first minister was Orlando Wanvig—he’s the guy mentioned on that plaque by our front door. You’ve probably wondered about that! In 1954, the congregation decided to switch things up and became “The Institute of Religious Science.” Then, in 1973, they changed paths again and called it the “Church of Christianity.” It seems they liked to reinvent themselves every decade or so, because in 1974, the building was renamed the “Divine Science Church of Truth.” Fast forward to 1988, when David Morrissey took over as minister. Membership was dwindling, so in 1991, David started teaching A Course in Miracles. It turned out to be a hit—more people were attending his classes than the Sunday services. When the congregation finally dwindled down to just six members, the Board decided it was time for another change. So in 1999, we became The Divine Science Church of Truth dba The Rocky Mountain Miracle Center. We switched our focus entirely to A Course in Miracles. Now, we’ve grown to nearly 100 members, and we’re still expanding. If you’re a member, you do own a bit of the building… sort of. If it’s ever sold, the proceeds go to charity, not to the members. But that’s okay—we’re planning on being here for a long time, doing the work of the Holy Spirit, who’s really the one in charge!
