As a church in the center of Denver, City Pres has a good number of new young families. Our Nursery Coordinator assures that the youngest of church are cared for by providing a safe and clean environment within the Tivoli and coordinates our team of professional childcare workers.  Originally from a small town in East Texas, Jen Hanson completed her degree in Human Development and Early Childhood Education from Texas Tech University and then taught for over six years in Texas schools.  A move to Denver for another teaching assignment and new adventures proved a bigger change than expected when she met Darren and his son Christian. They became an instant family and gained another family when they became members of City Pres. Their family continued to grow with the birth of their daughter, Addie. The Hanson’s spend as much time as they can outdoors whether it’s camping, hiking, and fishing, or working in the yard of their Clayton neighborhood home.
