Rites and Rituals

Pikes Peak Metropolitan Community Church recognizes that there are many milestones in life that deserve to be honored and commemorated. For that reason, we offer various rites and rituals that can help make these moments Sacred markers along the journey of your life.

Perhaps the most common rites are Rites of Blessing, which include:

• The blessing of a new home.
• The blessing of a new car, boat, or other large item.
• The blessing of a pet.
• The blessing of a child or fetus, focused on their new life (chosen by some as an alternative to infant baptism).

There are many other rituals and rites that can be performed. Basically, if you can think of it, Pastor Wes can do it. He is open-minded and enjoys the creative process of ritualizing significant moments in life. So, simply contact Pastor Wes, and you can begin working with him to plan whatever ritual or rite you would like to have performed!

Finally, know that these special rites and rituals can be for joyous occasions or for more somber occasions. If you would like to plan a Remembrance Ritual for someone you lost long ago, for the childhood that was stolen from you because of sexual abuse, or for some other profoundly impactful life experience, these can also be performed.

The goal of any rite or ritual is to help you continue to grow spiritually, emotionally, and healthily as you continue to move through the journey of this life. We are here to help you do that by providing these rituals as a way to find closure, acceptance, and hope—even in the most difficult of situations.
