We partner with East Central Ministries to be about community transformation.
East Central Ministries began in the spring of 1999 when John Bulten began walking the streets of southeast Albuquerque asking community members what they felt their community needed. Through this process John was led to a form of ministry called “Christian Community Development”. There are many elements to this approach but the essence is
“never do for someone else what they can do for themselves”.
A few years and many projects later we have developed three main areas of focus:
Community Programs
Projects created in partnership with the community that allow our neighbors to fully participate in the development of their own neighborhood.

Youth Programs
Programs aimed at nurturing, discipling and building indigenous leadership in our community.

Micro-Businesses
Small businesses and projects that provide job training, employment and economic opportunities in our neighborhood.
