Connection Communications

What Connection Communications does

Connection Communications is the operating trade name used by Calvary Albuquerque Inc., a religious nonprofit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Under the "Connect with Skip Heitzig" brand, the organization produces a multi-media Christian ministry led by Pastor Skip Heitzig, distributing verse-by-verse Bible exposition and topical studies across a nationwide radio program, television broadcast, YouTube channel (@ConnectwithSkipHeitzig), Apple Podcast, weekly email devotionals (DevoMail), and a proprietary iOS/Android mobile application. The audience is individual Christians seeking accessible, contemporary Bible teaching for personal study and spiritual growth.

The product portfolio centers on Skip Heitzig's ongoing catalog of teachings, supplemented by subscription devotionals (DevoMail), structured engagement programs such as the 30K 30-Day Challenge, and published resources including books, booklets, and resource bundles (e.g., the "What's Next? Briefing Package Special"). Distribution spans global digital channels (YouTube, podcast, app) and domestic broadcast (radio, TV), with donations accepted online via the givevirtuous.org portal, in-person at Calvary Church campuses, and by mail to the church's accounting department.

The business model is donation-funded: the ministry is operated as a nonprofit entity and does not charge for its core content, instead relying on voluntary financial contributions from its audience. Some peripheral revenue is generated through the sale of teaching materials, books, and resource bundles via an online store. The GTM motion is community-led, with content-driven audience development across traditional broadcast and digital media channels, and the organization has approximately 10 employees supporting these operations.
