Pastoral Staff
Fr. Harold L. Trott
The pastor of the Church of Our Lord, Fr. Harold L. Trott, SSC, is a native of Albuquerque. He attended public schools and received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of New Mexico. For many years, he was bi-vocational as both a teacher at Lincoln Junior High School and Rio Grande High School and an active pastor. It was at Rio Grande High School that he began to know and love the people of the South Valley. He has lived in the South Valley for the past thirteen years.
As of August 19, 2021, our pastor has served in Holy Orders for fifty-nine years. He taught Old Testament and New Testament and served as Dean of the School of Ministry of the Diocese of the Rio Grande. Because of the departure of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande from respecting the authority and teachings of Sacred Scripture and teachings of orthodox Christianity in faith and living for the past two thousand years, he became part of the Anglican Church in North America. He is a priest in the Society of the Holy Cross and a life-member of Forward in Faith North America. He is also an enthusiastic and active participant of the Faith-Life Fellowship (Lutheran) and a contributor to their periodical, Faith-Life. Fr. Trott also did pastoral counseling at the Memorial Psychiatric Hospital from 1989 through 1994 where he helped the patients as a group leader in the areas of addiction and personal and family issues.
Our pastor is firmly committed to the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to historic Christianity, seeks always to “speak the truth in love.” Under his leadership, Church of Our Lord does not “bash” any type of orthodox Christianity of any jurisdiction or denomination. Instead, we positively teach the wonder of Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Always approachable, our pastor is genuinely concerned for every person for whom Christ died and seeks to be a friend to all.
"And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” - Jeremiah 3:15

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.
