About Us
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 out the Word of God. We emphasize the hope and promise which 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 have lived 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.” - C.S. Lewis
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!
What do we believe?
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:
The Nicene Creed
The Apostles' Creed
The Athanasian Creed
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.
Am I free to attend?
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.
Times of Worship
Holy Eucharist and Sermon
Sunday at 10:00 AM
The name comes from the Greek word eucharistia which means "thanksgiving". This is what we, as His disciples, His Church, His redeemed, are to do on the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, as a weekly celebration of his saving work and Resurrection. The best name for it is the Holy Eucharist.
Daily Evening Prayer
Monday through Friday at 4:00 PM
Our practice at the Church of Our Lord is to pray full Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer every day at 4:30 pm Monday through Friday with the daily Psalm(s) and all three lectionary readings. Evening Prayer gives growing Christians the opportunity to ask questions about the meaning of the readings. It has proven to be a productive opportunity for growth in the written Word of God for all who attend.
Bible Study
Wednesday at 7:00 PM
Every Christian should be a serious student of the Bible through individual Bible study and group Bible study. If you don't go to a Bible Study, you are missing out "big time". The Liturgy of the Word is not only reading the Old Testament but teaching based on the Word of God.
