About Foothills Fellowship
Planted in the mid-70’s in the fast-growing northeast heights of Albuquerque, Foothills began as Conservative Baptist church but later dropped its denominational affiliation. It has had a series of long-serving pastors who have emphasized Christian discipleship, missions, and family.
The present congregation is eager to reach out to the immediately surrounding community and invite people to join us in expanding God’s kingdom. The congregation has put considerable effort into creating a new vision and plan for the church to be relevant in touching our neighbors with the Gospel of Christ.
About Albuquerque
Foothills Fellowship recently determined the demographics of the community within a ten-minute drive of the church building. That study revealed that the life of our surrounding community is comparable to a typical suburb of a large southwestern city. The population is mostly white, but 27% is Hispanic. The median annual household income varies over a wide range: 8% of the households have an annual income less than $15,000, 10% of the households have an income above $200,000, and the median is $78,000. Regarding age groups, they are evenly distributed from 18 to 84 years of age.
Given the demographics, the steady climate, and the nearby national forests and the city’s open areas, the life of the community tends to be more outgoing and outdoorsy than are most suburbs. The community is comfortable with its diverse nature; the different ethnicities and age-groups get along well.
