Private Christian Liberal Arts Historic Suburban Religious Walkable Mountains Nature Outdoors

First established as the Denver Bible Institute more than a century ago, Colorado Christian University has been serving the Denver area as a four-year institution since 1945. CCU operates from a picturesque campus in the West Denver suburb of Lakewood. The surrounding neighborhoods are filled with apartments, houses, and condos to fit any budget, often within walking distance of the university.

The campus is only a short walk from the Lakewood City Commons, the cultural and commercial center of the community filled with shops, restaurants, a multiplex movie theater, and the Lakewood Cultural Center. Several large public parks sit within a few blocks of the campus, giving you easy access to the sports fields, trails, and tranquil isolation of nature. The magnificent peaks of the Front Range are close at hand, making it a terrific location for folks who enjoy outdoor sports like skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and rock climbing.
