Rising Sun Christian Community

About this church

Rising Sun Christian Community in Albuquerque worships Sundays at 11:30 a.m. in person and by livestream. Services usually last a little over an hour and include contemporary praise music, welcome, a children's moment, a Bible-based message, weekly Communion, and a social hour afterward. Children currently return to sit with parents after their short teaching rather than leaving for a separate full program, which is useful for families to know in advance.

RSCC is a nondenominational, open and affirming Christian church with a special outreach to LGBTQ+ people, their families, and straight allies. It was founded in 2012 by lesbian, gay, and allied Christians seeking a place to worship without condemnation and to participate openly with spouses and partners. Members come from Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Assemblies of God, and other backgrounds, but share a mission of offering God's unconditional love and a safe place to deepen relationship with Jesus. Potlucks, Pride observances, picnics, and a joint family Halloween event with Messiah Lutheran Church connect that inclusive worship identity with social and neighborhood life.
