About Believer Church in Albuquerque

Believer Church was founded in 1980, when Marshall and Cindi Townsley gathered twelve people in a living room in Northeast Albuquerque. From the beginning, they emphasized the grace of God and invited people to rest in his unchanging character, and that emphasis still marks everything we teach. What started as a handful of people grew into a congregation, a building on Waterfall Drive in the Southeast Heights, and more than four decades of Sundays.

For most of its history the church was known as Believers Center of Albuquerque. As leadership passed to a new generation, the church took the name Believer Church, a simpler way of saying the same thing we have always been: people who believe Jesus and follow him together. The name changed. The mission never did.

Today the church is led by David and Jordan Eiffert. David grew up in this church and began vocational ministry as its youth pastor. Jordan came up through service and special events. They carry a legacy they were handed personally, from pastors who are still part of the church family and still lead us in prayer at Pray First each month.

We gather on Sundays at 10 AM and Tuesdays at 7 PM at 320 Waterfall Dr SE, and through the week our people meet in small groups in homes across the metro, serve the city through LoveABQ, and walk out freedom together in BC Recovery.

Our slogan is a to-do list. Through LoveABQ, our city outreach ministry, we show up around four pain points in Albuquerque: poverty, homelessness, addiction, and human trafficking. That looks like food bags at every service, weekend food bags for students through Feed New Mexico Kids, a Thanksgiving meal box drive-thru each November, Christmas gifts for families facing hardship, and mobile teams that take food, hygiene kits, and prayer directly to people living on the street.

Inside our walls, BC Recovery offers a free, Christ-centered path to freedom from addiction, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Small groups meet in homes across the metro so nobody has to do faith alone, and our prayer team prays with anyone who asks, after every service and any time in between.

Beyond Albuquerque, we financially support global partners doing the work of the gospel from Los Angeles to Thailand and Romania, because a church placed in one city can still care about the whole world.
