Movie Night: The Rider
Day: October 18th
Time: 6:30pm
Join us in the Sagrado Theater for a showing of The Rider, Chloe Zhao’s take on a modern Western. Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, this 2018 account of rodeo riders on a South Dakota reservation is so fact-based that it almost qualifies as a documentary, but its sense of light and landscape and mood give the film the quiet power of cinematic poetry.
The film explores aspects of masculinity, identity, and community, and will give us plenty to think and talk about. We’ll provide a brief introduction to the film and then allow time for discussion afterwards for anyone who wants to stick around. It is rated R for language. Childcare will not be provided.

Church Family Spotlight
Our entire marriage and family life was spent in Georgia when 1.5 years ago my husband, Don, had the opportunity to come work at Los Alamos National Lab as a consultant. We have thoroughly enjoyed our life here. We love Santa Fe's restaurants, history, mountains and most of all, its people. We started coming to CCSF in January 2023. We were immediately drawn to the strong biblical teaching on Sunday mornings and the warm sense of community found in our Small Group. Through grace, love and that same sense of community, we have found our second family here and couldn't be happier.
After my wife of 20 years passed away in August 2022, a Jewish friend asked me if I had found a church yet. No. Wasn’t even looking, having concluded long ago that most Protestant denominations had wandered too far from the simple teaching and preaching of the Gospel long ago. He suggested I check out Christ Church Santa Fe. My first time attending I knew that this church was a Bible believing, Bible teaching church that preached the Gospel. A kind of church that I had been looking for for decades. I’ve been here ever since.
We began searching for a church before getting married to establish a firm spiritual foundation and community before starting our family. We found Christ Church Santa Fe and have enjoyed the community events and friendships we have built with other members!
We started attending Christ Church in 2021. What brought us to the church was the solid Biblical teaching of the PCA. Now that we’re here, I’m also so thankful for the chance to serve alongside people who strive for excellence, a children’s ministry where kids of all ages are respected enough to be taught unwatered down truths of Scripture, and the beautiful people we can grow alongside who point us towards Jesus.
I moved from Dallas to Santa Fe on May 1, 2022 having visited Northern New Mexico for more than four decades. I knew of CCSF through Martin Ban and visited our church in August 2015 - Martin's last Sunday before his family move to Dallas. In November 2019 God told me that time had come to move to Santa Fe and for two specific purposes: to be part of CCSF and to extend His hospitality to anyone needing it in Santa Fe. The church has warmly welcomed me with open arms since my move in 2022; I love the intimacy of the CCSF family and her heart for our City Different. God has been faithful and gracious in bringing me to this amazing place. I can truly say I love our church!
On our first Sunday, we heard the Gospel. Since that day, we have consistently heard the Gospel from the Old and New Testaments taught with grace and conviction. A famous pastor from the 19th century once said, “If you leave a church service thinking about how good the pastor was, you missed the mark. If you leave consumed with Christ, the pastor has been used of the Lord.” We have greatly benefited from the Christ-centered teaching at Christ Church Santa Fe. Please come and visit!
I started coming to Christ Church shortly after moving to Santa Fe in August 2022. The church community is one I wanted to join— one reflective of Biblical community. Not only are the members here fully devoted to Christ but also to one another, showing respect, grace, and support.
"We found CCSF the first month here in 2002 and became actively part of it. We love our church family. We attended CCSF's first service on August 11, 2002. We immediately felt excited and welcome and never looked back. My purpose is to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever."
"We searched for the right church for our family for quite a while. The warmth of the people, strength of the teaching and activities of the children's ministry all drew us to Christ Church." God's purpose for them is "to serve Him, His church, and our community."
"There was never a time when God was not a part of my life....I just wish He would send me an email explaining what I should be doing in my life! The best I can do now is try to let God shine through every aspect of my life..."
