LEADERSHIP



HISTORY & CURRENT

Founded in 1999, Senior Pastor Todd Cook moved to the Westside of Albuquerque with a core group of 120 people who launched the church. Since then, Sagebrush Church has thrived under his leadership and vision, and now has seven locations throughout Albuquerque and greater New Mexico. In addition, Sagebrush has an international location in Belize.

At Sagebrush, we are driven by our mission to know Christ and to make Christ known. We exist to know Christ, to love Him with all our heart, mind and strength, to make Him known, and to share the message of Jesus to those who are far from Him. We stand firmly on the Word of God and believe it’s important to be a church with a solid foundation and a clear vision.

Sagebrush just celebrated their 20th year anniversary.
