About this Church
Faith Church is a multi-generational, bilingual church in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, a suburb of Albuquerque. The church values expositional preaching, hospitality as a means of encouragement as well as evangelism, and genuinely loves to be together with one another. We have two identical services, and a Spanish service that meets concurrently during our second service in English. Rio Rancho initially developed as a bedroom community to Albuquerque, but has grew significantly in the last 20 years. Faithful churches have not multiplied at a similar rate, which is why we desire to plant in our city.
