The Christian Church Starters serves God in the area of New Mexico, far, far west Texas and far southwestern Colorado. The population is about 3,000,000 or about 1 in 100 people in the USA. The Albuquerque metro area has a population of about 830,000 of whom at least 600,000 have no active church life.

To advance the gospel, New City Christian Church launched in Albuquerque at the Bosque School on April 4, 2010. The church planter Nathan Bush has led the congregation to become a gathering of over 150 in attendance by the close of 2011. God is providing outstanding staff and volunteers, people are placing their faith in Christ, and Life Groups are meeting in various part of Albuquerque.

New City CC has added another congregation to the 10 Christian Churches in the Albuquerque area. Our total Sunday attendance among these churches is about 1700.

Another major church plant will be in Las Cruces, NM. At more than 130,000 people, in the immediate area, the city is the second largest in New Mexico. It is culturally exciting with many tech-related people moving to the area. They are coming into a community where over half the people are Hispanic.

Besides doing major church plants, the CCS also starts Core Churches and Seed Churches – house churches. Such a seed church has met in the very resistant town of Madrid, NM for several years.

Errol Stepp, the Executive Director, served with the CCS as the church planter of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, New Mexico, in 1986. He was the president of the .CCS board before becoming the Executive Director in 2000. The Board of Directors is elected from the supporting churches.
