Thomas Huffman, Pastor
CITY BAPTIST CHURCH OF ABQ, founded by Thomas W. Huffman in 2001, a native to Albuquerque, New Mexico. At age 18 I joined the United States Navy. After serving my country, I left San Diego, Ca. to visit family in Panama City Fl. where I would spend the next 13 years, working in public relations at the world’s largest private beach club “Club La Vela” for nine years, and as a DJ on Panama City’s Pure Rock & Roll “Rock 103”.
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior at an early age at Berean Baptist Church in Albuquerque, NM under the leadership of Pastor Charlie Yates.
Up until 1993 my walk & relationship with God had been hit and miss, mostly miss. At age 10 I felt the call of God on my life but did not understand what that would someday mean. By age 28 I had become a slave to the devil’s lies. I was a drunk and everything in between. I did it my way. Heartache beyond measure and emptiness was its reward. Drugs and alcohol could no longer outrun the pain I was running from. I had left God. But He never left me.
Early one January morning in Florida, while sitting in a coffee shop, hair to the middle of my back smoking a cigarette, God opened my eyes for what felt like the first time. God allowed me to see how much He really loved me and that He had never left me. My life has never been the same!
For the next 30 years my relationship with God has been a personal one. Since that day, I have discovered the joy, peace and power of God’s love. God’s love is greater than all our sin. To God be the glory, in 2000, I graduated from Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida. In obedience to God’s call, I returned to Albuquerque with a new heart and life to start CBC. In October of 2010 we purchased our first building! I am so thankful for the promises of God. Jesus Christ is the sinner’s friend; no one has ever loved me like Jesus! CBC is as real as it gets.
Come grow with us.
Because He lives
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
