Our History
In 1972, God birthed the vision to plant a holiness church in the Holiday Park area on the East side of Albuquerque. The church quickly outgrew the rented school facility and God miraculously provided our current site on Montgomery Blvd.
Holiday Park Church of the Nazarene has earned the reputation of a loving, caring, worshipping people. It has also earned the reputation of being an evangelistic and mission-minded congregation.
Holiday Park Church is a place..."Where Love Surrounds You."
Our Vision
Holiday Park Church of the Nazarene is a Life-Saving Station. We pull men and women from the wreckage of sin and offer them new life and hope through Jesus Christ.
The Holiday Park people in continually seeking a deeper relationship with God; have a burden for those not yet members of God's family; have a clear balance between reaching out to new people and nurturing those within the fellowship, restoring those that have gone astray, and take the initiative in meeting the needs of others. Our people, by seeking to know and serve God, through the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit, will be an influence in our community as to the reality of God.
Our desire is to be:
- People whose love is forgiving, unconditional, and self-sacrificing.
- Men and women of faith who allow themselves to be inconvenienced and made uncomfortable in order to become active participants in reaching people and bringing them to the knowledge of God's love in Jesus Christ.
- Men and women who are genuine, authentic disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing their faith with family, friends, and associates through relationships of love, acceptance, and forgiveness; while helping individuals come to Christ and have their needs met in the Body of Believers.
- Men and women whose lives are totally surrendered to the Lordship of Christ and equipped to minister to the hurts and needs of those in the community around them.
- Men and women of vision and faith in the promises of God; who are willing to let God dream his dream of reconciling the world to Himself through them, and who will not be satisfied with what is, but are willing to step out in faith to follow God's direction for the future.
- Men and women with a generous, giving spirit who hold things in trust and do not own what God has given, but are stewards of God's resources and whose desire is to share what God has provided with churched and unchurched alike.
