Who we are
Church of Our Lord is an orthodox Anglican church (ACNA) in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We try to faithfully teach and live our the Word of God. We emphasize the hope and promise who are ours in the Lord Jesus Christ and are sincerely trying to be a balanced expression of what C.S. Lewis called “mere Christianity" in which the Lord Jesus is trusted, obeyed, and supreme in all things (Colossians 1:18).
We strive to be a loving family in Jesus Christ centered upon uplifting Eucharistic-centered worship, historically orthodox and biblical teaching, and to live-out the calling of the Kingdom of Christ in today's confusing world.
Church of Our Lord is part of the Anglican Diocese of the Southwest in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
What kind of a Church is the Church of Our Lord?
First and foremost, this is a gathering of baptized Christian people who make much of the most unique person ever to live in human history of any time, of any place, of any culture. His name is Jesus Christ. C.S. Lewis, a brilliant British scholar well-known for a number of types of literature, went so far as make this statement: “[Jesus Christ and Christianity], if false, are of no importance; and if true, of infinite importance.” We strongly declare that Jesus of Nazareth is of infinite importance. That simply is a fact. If you want to discover WHY and want to discover HIM, that’s what we are all about!
The Church of Our Lord is a place where we make every effort to be real and genuinely loving in our relationships with each other and with our neighbor—no matter who he or she is. If you want to interact with people who are like this, you very well might like it here.
Finally, we are not part of a sect that just came into being in the last two centuries or so. While there is much in the “the modern” to value and we do, we are thoroughly rooted in the Sacred Scriptures and the three primary Creeds of the Church; we believe and sincerely try to live out the central wisdom of faith and practice of the Church as it has come down to us from the time of Christ and His Apostles. If you want to discover and live out “the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3), again, you will not be disappointed here.

Leader Bio:
The pastor of the Church of Our Lord, Fr. Harold L. Trott, SSC, is a native of Albuquerque. He attended the public schools and received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of New Mexico. For many years, he was bi-vocational as both a teacher at Lincoln Junior High School and Rio Grande High School and an active pastor. It was at Rio Grande High School that he began to know and love the people of the South Valley. He has lived in the South Valley for the past thirteen years.
As of August 19, 2021, our pastor has served in Holy Orders for fifty-nine years. He taught Old Testament and New Testament and served as Dean of the School of Ministry of the Diocese of the Rio Grande. Because of the departure of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande from respecting the authority and teachings of Sacred Scripture and teachings of orthodox Christianity in faith and living for the past two thousand years, he became part of the Anglican Church in North America.
He is a priest in the Society of the Holy Cross and a life-member of Forward in Faith North America. He is also an enthusiastic and active participant of the Faith-Life Fellowship (Lutheran) and a contributor to their periodical, Faith-Life. Fr. Trott also did pastoral counseling at the Memorial Psychiatric Hospital from 1989 through 1994 where he helped the patients as a group leader in the areas of addiction and personal and family issues.
Our pastor is firmly committed to the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to historic Christianity, seeks always to “speaks the truth in love.” Under his leadership, Church of Our Lord does not “bash” any type of orthodox Christianity of any jurisdiction or denomination. Instead, we positively teach the wonder of Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Always approachable, our pastor is genuinely concerned for every person for whom Christ died and seeks to be a friend to all.
