Christian Church Starters is about starting churches.  Whether it be a major chruch plant, a home church (seed church), or working with a tentmaker.   We put church planters on the field in the Southwest to share the hope that Jesus Christ offers.

God has opened the door for the ABQ III Project church to be planted in Albuquerque, NM shortly after the New Year begins in 2010.  Nate Bush, was formerly the student minister at Community Christian Chruch in Tamarac, FL. He has been led by God to plant a new church with the CCS in Albuquerque.  He and his wife Vanessa and sons, Micah and Corbin, will arrive in Albuquerque the first of September.

The Albuquerque metro area has a population of about 830,000 of whom at least 600,000 have no active church life.  The ABQ III Project will add another congregation to our witness in the 10 Christian Churches in the Albuquerque area whose total Sunday attendance is about 1700.
