Untitled - Calvary Albuquerque

In 1982, Skip began a home Bible study which eventually grew into
Calvary of Albuquerque. Calvary of Albuquerque ministers to over
14,000 adults and their children every weekend. Several other
churches have spun off from Calvary of Albuquerque, including
churches in Arizona, Colorado, and other parts of New Mexico.

in the Lakes Apartments as a Midweek Bible study
on San Mateo, Calvary also met in the Far North Theatres, 1660
Eubank (later a military supply store), then nearby on 9610 Snowheights.
Moving into a former sports complex in 1986, Calvary was poised to
put down roots and was given a platform for explosive growth in the
years to come. Calvary of Albuquerque was the fastest growing church
in America according to Dr John Vaughn of Church Growth Today.
Two, three, then finally four weekend services were required to
meet the attendance demands at Calvary.

Returning from a trip to China, Pastor Skip stopped in Hawaii and ventured
to a coffee shop on the north shore of Oahu. Great coffee can produce
great inspiration, and it was here that the idea for the Servant Connection
School of Ministry came into being. More than fifteen classes have now
graduated from the SOM, and hundreds of students have been enriched
and expanded by attending the School of Ministry.

Regular trips to Israel, expanding missions and large scale evangelism all marked the growth of Calvary in the
1990’s. Greg Laurie, Raul Ries, Billy and Franklin Graham would all conduct crusades during this decade.
Easter Sunrise services moved from Dukes Stadium to Lobo Stadium and soon became the largest church
service in the state of New Mexico. Calvary’s growth was not
restricted to Albuquerque, however, Calvary church plants
stripes?
soon touched most major cities in New Mexico, then beyond.
Tucson, Denver, El Paso, Colorado Springs and many other
cities would see new thriving fellowships as a result of
CCABQ outreach. Internationally, Uganda, Mexico and
England were just a few of the countries that saw
Calvary establish significant works. More than 35
churches have sprung up from Calvary of Albuquerque.

KNKT and KLYT radio expanded the reach of Calvary outside the walls at 4001
Osuna. Sunday morning services were soon heard by an additional 20,000 by way
of live broadcasts on both stations. But it was the internet that became an international
megaphone, and Calvary was ready to ride this new technological wave. Using the
web for teaching, information and outreach, Calvary would soon have nearly twenty
different web sites to represent the various media and ministry groups on
campus. 2004 saw a new face in the pulpit as Pete Nelson assumed the role of
Pastor Pete
Senior Pastor of Calvary.

rise
the summer of 2006. This difficult
transition brought the strong reminder
that the church belongs to the Lord, and He will build
His church. Today the church is stronger than ever
with a fresh excitement and momentum. In 2007,
Calvary is in a position to learn from the
past, take advantage of the resources God
has graciously provided and continue
the simple but potent mission of
upreach, inreach and outreach.
