Vision
A New Church
with Deep Roots
Resurrection Church is new, but our aim is not novelty. Just like our sending church, Desert Springs, we want to plant a church with deep roots—roots in Scripture, nourished by the wisdom of the historic church, bearing the fruit of faithful preaching, beautiful worship, meaningful discipleship, and a deep love for Christ, one another, and the world.
We want to see the gospel take root in the neighborhoods and families of West Albuquerque through the ordinary means Christ has given to his church: the Word preached, prayers offered, songs sung, ordinances received, saints equipped, burdens borne, tables opened, and neighbors loved.
Why Plant Churches?
The New Testament pattern is not merely the conversion of isolated individuals, but the gathering of believers into local churches. Churches preach the Word, administer the ordinances, shepherd souls, train disciples, care for members, and send the gospel to the nations.
That means Church planting is one of the central ways the Great Commission advances.
Why West Albuquerque?
Albuquerque continues to grow westward. More than 330,000 people live in the Albuquerque metro area west of the Rio Grande, across West Albuquerque, Corrales, and Rio Rancho.
As neighborhoods, schools, and families continue to grow, so does the need for healthy churches. We are not planting because there are no churches on the west side, but because a growing part of our city needs churches rooted in the gospel, committed to Scripture, serious about discipleship, and ready to love their neighbors for generations.
Our prayer is that Resurrection Church would become one faithful outpost of gospel ministry in West Albuquerque.
