NewThing Churches in the Southwest

A value add in being a network is increased diversity.  Within NewThing we have lots of different type of churches: urban plants, mega-multisites, rural plants, multi-ethnic plants, organic, missional, justice oriented...you name it!  This past weekend I got to experience all of those forms in just 2 church plants.

Greg Hunt, lead church planter, leads a funky, diverse, organic missional community in El Paso, Texas. This church plant sits across the border from Juarez Mexico.  Unless you live under a rock, you know Juarez is not exactly a safe place.  But Greg and his wife Jill and 3 kids want to reach all people for Jesus and that includes the ofter over-looked communities just across the border.  If you are looking to support a mission that really gets it, you need to invest in this community with prayer, people and plenty of pesos - go Paseo Church!

Nate Bush, lead planter of New City Church, leads a community of ragamuffins reaching out to those who are far from God in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I had the privilege of spending time with Nate's team as they shared their passion for Albuquerque.  I also got to hang with someone in their community who described himself as a seeker - what an honor to be so close to someone who is on their first steps to find their way back to God.  Everyone should invest time, money and people into the work these guys and gals are doing - love New City Church!

Super proud of the leaders within these church and their families.  If you find yourself interested in the Southwest or want to explore reaching out to the Latino community contact Nate or Greg or contact us as we are currently taking steps to build momentum behind a NewThing Latino Network in an effort to increase our bi-lingual & Spanish-speaking church planting.  If you're interested in learning more, reach out to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
