Scum of the Earth Church
United States · built 2000
Scum of the Earth Church (SOTEC or Scum) was a non-denominational Christian church based in Lincoln Park neighborhood, Denver, Colorado. Its name is taken from 1 Corinthians 4:11-13, which includes Paul the Apostle's statement, "We have become the scum of the earth." SOTEC's vision was to be "an outpost on the perimeter of God's kingdom seeking redemption in Jesus Christ". Its unusual name and explicit mission statement of outreach to excluded young adults has attracted comment from both religious and non-religious sources.
