Go Therefore, and
Make disciples
Our Vision at East Gate
Go Therefore, and
The Mission & Vision
We believe every person has been created by God on purpose and for a purpose.
No matter where you’ve been or what your story looks like today, we believe Jesus still changes lives. Our desire is to help people discover who God has made them to be, grow into mature followers of Christ, and make a lasting difference in their families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and beyond.
Church isn’t just a place to attend. It’s a family to belong to, a community to grow with, and a mission to live out.
Helping People Become Who God Created Them to Be
Following Jesus is more than believing the right things. It’s becoming the person God designed you to be.
That’s why everything we do—from Sunday gatherings and small groups to discipleship classes and serving opportunities—is aimed at helping people know God, experience His freedom, discover their gifts, and live with purpose.
We don’t expect anyone to have life figured out. We simply want to walk alongside one another as we grow in Christ.
Strong Families Change Communities
Healthy churches are built on healthy families. We are passionate about investing in marriages, encouraging parents, equipping men and women to lead with integrity, and helping children develop a faith that lasts. Through East Gate Kids, youth ministries, men’s and women’s gatherings, and family-focused events throughout the year, we want every generation to experience the transforming love of Jesus.
When God changes one life, He often changes an entire family tree.
Hope for Those Finding Freedom
We believe no one is beyond God’s grace. Celebrate Recovery is an important part of who we are because every one of us has hurts, habits, and hang-ups that need the healing power of Christ. Recovery isn’t just for a select few—it’s a picture of the gospel itself.
We celebrate every story of freedom because we know Jesus is still restoring lives one person at a time.
Honoring Our Native American Communities
Our Native American ministry reflects our heart to honor the people and cultures God has placed around us.
We desire to build genuine relationships, serve with humility, and share the hope of Christ while recognizing the rich heritage and unique stories of Native communities throughout New Mexico. We believe the Church is strongest when every tribe, tongue, and people are welcomed as one family in Christ.
Loving Our Community
Faith is meant to be lived, not simply talked about.
Throughout the year we look for practical ways to serve our city—whether through our monthly food distribution, school supply drives, community partnerships, or meeting needs as they arise.
Jesus cared for people spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We want to do the same.
A Church for Everyone
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for decades or you’re simply curious about faith, there’s a place for you here.
You’ll find people from every stage of life and every kind of background, learning together, asking honest questions, serving one another, and discovering what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
We don’t pretend to be perfect. We simply believe that God is still at work—and we’d love for you to be part of what He’s doing.

Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of East Gate Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Resurrection
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
