Albuquerque needs Jesus, and we are so excited about this new building because it provides us an opportunity to serve this wonderful city, the people of Albuquerque, and those throughout New Mexico so that they can come hear the Jesus' gospel. Here are a few testimonies from people who are already signed up to be baptized this Sunday:
"But now something has changed, drastically. I feel compelled by the Holy Spirit to live a life that carries out the plan that God has, and to make him the center of my life. I have fully accepted Jesus in my heart as my Savior, and am ready to begin living a new life in him, and for him." –Luke
"I went from feelings of dying and suffering to feelings of love, forgiveness, and a desire to seek out Jesus. He answered my prayer when I needed him most. Ever since then, my life has changed and I seek to have a deeper relationship with Christ and to love everyone that I stumble upon." –Anonymous
"I want to be baptized because I want to follow Jesus and I want him to teach me how to teach others about him." –Harmony, 6
New Building, Same Mission
So why is the Albuquerque church moving? Well, because they outgrew our space. Quickly. Mars Hill Church first opened its doors in Albuquerque’s historic Lobo Theater in the summer of 2009. In just over two years, we've tripled in size from fewer than 250 adults and 65 kids to over 750 people in attendance, including 125 kids, have witnessed almost 300 baptisms, and are one of our fastest growing churches.
Godʼs work has been amazing. We are running out of children’s space as new families join us and our current families continue to be fruitful. Redemption Night continues to grow and we are running out of places for groups to meet. We have currently run out of room when we try to host larger trainingevents featuring nationally recognized leaders.
Early last year, the Albuquerque elders started seeking out a new location that could accommodate more growth, give more space for the children's area and ministries, and allow the church to become a regional hub in the Southwest for training and church planting. As the leaders began to look into the former Gold’s Gym near the corner of San Mateo and Montgomery, "perfect" was the only word that could be used. It was as if God built us a home decades ago that we are just now moving into. The new building will allow the Albuquerque church to seat over 550 people in the auditorium, including over 3,500 square feet in children’s space.

Jesus was a man who claimed to be God. Think on that for a minute. If that were true, how would it change the way you thought, felt, and lived this life?
At Mars Hill, we believe that Jesus is God. We take him at his word. Because of this, everything we do is all about Jesus. We invite you to learn more about this man who is God and how you can find forgiveness and new life in him.
Visiting a church for the first time can be nerve-racking. But having an idea of what to expect can help. There are three main parts to every Sunday service: preaching, worship, and kids. To learn more about each of these, click the links below.
Church is more than a service. It’s people living life together and helping one another throughout our cities to serve our cities. Each week, thousands of people at Mars Hill meet in hundreds of small communities to learn about God, pray, eat, laugh, and live. We call these Community Groups—and they’re the heart of our church.
We provide a number of resources to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. You’ll find videos on a number of topics and from various conferences. The Mars Hill Blog connects you to life around the church and personal growth. And Resurgence is a blog dedicated to helping you grow as a leader at home, work, and church.
Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.
