Denomination: Anglican Church
Church of Our Lord is an orthodox Anglican church (ACNA) in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We try to faithfully teach and live our the Word of God. We emphasize the hope and promise who are ours in the Lord Jesus Christ and are sincerely trying to be a balanced expression of what C.S. Lewis called “mere Christianity" in which the Lord Jesus is trusted, obeyed, and supreme in all things (Colossians 1:18).
We strive to be a loving family in Jesus Christ centered upon uplifting Eucharistic-centered worship, historically orthodox and biblical teaching, and to live-out the calling of the Kingdom of Christ in today's confusing world.
Church of Our Lord is part of the Anglican Diocese of the Southwest in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
What kind of a Church is the Church of Our Lord?
First and foremost, this is a gathering of baptized Christian people who make much of the most unique person ever to live in human history of any time, of any place, of any culture. His name is Jesus Christ. C.S. Lewis, a brilliant British scholar well-known for a number of types of literature, went so far as make this statement: “[Jesus Christ and Christianity], if false, are of no importance; and if true, of infinite importance.” We strongly declare that Jesus of Nazareth is of infinite importance. That simply is a fact. If you want to discover WHY and want to discover HIM, that’s what we are all about!
The Church of Our Lord is a place where we make every effort to be real and genuinely loving in our relationships with each other and with our neighbor—no matter who he or she is. If you want to interact with people who are like this, you very well might like it here.
Finally, we are not part of a sect that just came into being in the last two centuries or so. While there is much in the “the modern” to value and we do, we are thoroughly rooted in the Sacred Scriptures and the three primary Creeds of the Church; we believe and sincerely try to live out the central wisdom of faith and practice of the Church as it has come down to us from the time of Christ and His Apostles. If you want to discover and live out “the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3), again, you will not be disappointed here.
