Reverand Jerald Baxter preaches from a pulpit on a rooftop platform, Church of God of Prophesy, Commerce City, Colorado. A group of men, women and children, black and white, stand below listening to the sermon. The 1955 church is a one-story brick building with decorative stone frameing the entry and the shape of a cross above the double doors. A flag with stylized symbols of a crown, star and lily, flies on pole. The pastor held service on the roof after his Sunday School attendence passed one hundred.
