How to Find Us:

We are located at 916 W. Prospect Road in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado on the southwest side of Colorado State University's campus. We are an easy walk from anywhere on campus and the Campus West neighborhoods. We have a large parking lot between Prospect Road and Lake Street and have a mutual parking agreement for overflow parking with our friends at the Islamic Center of Fort Collins next door on Lake Street.
*Please observe signs and parking restrictions in the area. Public Transport: We are serviced hourly Monday through Saturday by Transfort routes #2 via Shields Street and #18 on Prospect Road and are only a 15 minute walk from the Prospect Station of the MAX Bus Rapid Transit and FLEX Regional Transit, both of which will soon begin offering Sunday bus service.
Biking and Walking: Fort Collins is known internationally for our culture of biking and bike commuting, and we here at Plymouth have embraced this 100%. Located just yards off of the Spring Creek Trail through the Sheely Neighborhood, Plymouth has bike racks on both sides of the church. The bike rack on our north side looks like a sculpture of the mountains, but it is intended for bike parking. |

How did Plymouth start?
Some of us are history people and feel connected and grounded when we know where a place came from. At Plymouth, we have a member who acts as historian, and we have members who are keepers of our rich history.
Plymouth is an historic church for modern times. We were founded in 1903 by German-Russian immigrants who worked the local sugar beet industry in the Andersonville neighborhood on the edge of town. Our mission to bring God's welcome to those living on the fringes comes out of that history and continues today in new and creative ways.
