AnnaSophia's church

Okay, I've heard many places that AnnaSophia goes to church:

"And in my church, I did a lot of singing" - AnnaSophia
"Before nine I had led a fairly normal life singing in my church choir, taking Irish step dance lessons, working out with my gymnastics team, going to school, playing with my friends, cousins and dog." - AnnaSophia
"She lives nearby in Denver so we see her every Sunday after church, but people ask us all the time for her autograph. People see her and when we tell them that she’s our granddaughter, they always look at us funny and say, ‘Yeah, right.’ It’s kind of funny." - Eleanor Andersen

So, what church? What kind of church? She even once said about her Christian school, "You have to give your faith story. It could be as unexciting as anything or you could bring up a painful moment in your life. The teacher said do whatever you want. So it's comfortable. You don't have to say the really dark thing. Some kids open up a lot. Others... You realize, 'Huh, who knew?' " So Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post says, "What's your faith story?" AnnaSophia then yells, "I'm not telling you!" Kind of a touchy topic, huh? She then says, "It's a school thing. It's for my classmates." So what do we do now? Track down her classmates and ask them what she said? Ooh, maybe. But I don't think we need to.

So, how do we find out? Well, her parents, Dave and Janet Robb, once sponsored the Denver Christian High School to put up pictures of Darfur. Does that say anything? I don't think so... But if they sponsored that school, and AnnaSophia went to Arapahoe High School, what does that say? I once read that they chose Arapahoe for its technology, which would fit with AnnaSophia's film career. I think that's a different post though. Her other school? Yeah, I read she went to a Denver-area Christian school. I also read that she went to a Denver Christian Schools school. Denver Christian Schools seems to be affiliated with Calvinism, which includes Presbyterian and Baptist sects, and follows the doctrine of "Total Depravity", which states that all humans have a natural inclination to sin. But of course, the Denver Christian Schools accepts members of other denominations. I won't go by that alone.

Now, let's take a look at what Grandma Andersen said at Windcrest, "She lives nearby in Denver so we see her every Sunday after church." Perhaps they don't get to "see" her in church during service, and after church they are able to. Why else would they see her every Sunday after church? Is it some family tradition that after AnnaSophia leaves her church, and Jim and Elly leave their church, that they go and meet up someplace? Maybe, but let's play around with the idea of them going to the same church. Let's look up what church Jim and Elly go to.

Okay, it looks like the Jim and Elly Andersen gave some Easter lilies and mums to the Bethany Lutheran Church of Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. So, if AnnaSophia goes to the same church as her mother's parents, and if the church that Jim and Elly gave flowers to is the one they go to, then I'd say AnnaSophia goes to the Bethany Lutheran Church.

I don't think I'm done looking into this yet.

September 1, 2010 update:

Last night I saw that in March of 2009 someone added to Wikipedia that AnnaSophia was recently confirmed at Bethany Lutheran Church.

Does that mean she goes there? Well, if her grandma said she sees her after church, they might go to the same church. If her grandma gave flowers to the Bethany Lutheran Church, she might go to the Bethany Lutheran Church. If someone said on Wikipedia that she was confirmed at that same church that her grandma gave flowers to and her grandma says she sees her after church... I might be done looking for her church, and so I probably was done last November.
