Our mission and vision

We discover the deep love of Christ in real life practices - turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, rest - and we share that Love with everyone. Our Mission is to call all people into the Way of Love.

Our vision is to be a diverse, welcoming, worshipping, and biblically faithful community that connects people to Jesus Christ through love in action.

The Way of Love includes: children, elders; married, single, divorced; LGTBTQ+; skeptics, believers;

A weekly digital retreat
Sunday morning is a special time in our community, when we connect with one another and God. We find it is best if we are unplugged. All you need for service is found in the church. We ask that you silence your phones, or leave them in the car, if possible. And enjoy this refreshing time!

Adult Stretch Classes

Mondays, 10-11am, beginning July 1. Taught by J. Davis Hobdy. $10/class suggested donation.

Prayer for healing on Sunday mornings

God works in many ways, and is always working in our lives for good. One of the ways God works is through physical healing. If you want prayer for healing, there will be prayer teams at the front of the church after Sunday services. Simply come forward and ask - they will be happy to pray for you.
It isn't physical pain I need prayer for
For many, their need is not for physical healing, but for counsel, wisdom, or prayer for a decision or struggle. A priest will be available at the front of the church after service, and would be happy to listen and pray with you for whatever you are facing.

Bishop Michael Hunn

As a church with an ancient history, we can trace our worship and our bishops back to the earliest days of the church.

Michael Hunn is the 12th Bishop of this Diocese (which includes all of New Mexico and part of Texas). You won't normally see him at St. Francis, because he has many churches and people to visit, but he is our lead pastor and teacher. He loves to share videos of what he is up to, as he is often on the go, and we share them with you here.
