Welcome to High Desert United Methodist Church!
Centrally located near Southern Boulevard and NM Highway 528 in Rio Rancho. You’ll find three convenient worship services and an active congregation from young people to seniors, reaching out to serve others in our community. We may be in a slightly unconventional building (yes, it looks like an office building, but the atrium becomes a comfortable sanctuary each week!)
The High Desert congregation is about 225 members, small enough to get to know others and feel at home quickly. We work at sharing our faith in our community and providing outreach and ministry to the area around us. If you’re looking for a church home, we hope you’ll visit soon!
We are:
- Christ-Centered
- Active
- Welcoming
- Inclusive· Family-oriented
We exist to:
- Transform lives through Jesus Christ.
- Develop, support, and nurture healthy, growing relationships with God, self and others.
- Serve God by meeting the needs of our multi-generational congregation; our community; our nation; and our world.
