What Sagebrush Church does

Sagebrush Church is a privately held, non-profit religious organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It operates as a multi-campus Christian church with eight or more physical locations across New Mexico — including Riverside, Northeast Heights, Uptown, Enchanted Hills (Rio Rancho), Farmington, Santa Fe, and Los Lunas — plus an international campus in San Pedro, Belize. The church reaches its congregation through in-person weekend services, online streaming, a custom mobile application (iOS and Android powered by Subsplash Consulting), and regional television broadcast on KRQE 13, FOX New Mexico, and NM CW. Its mission statement is "To Know Christ And To Make Christ Known." The organization is led by Senior Pastor Todd Cook and Executive Pastor Chris Dreier, with 89 paid employees supported by more than 2,000 volunteer team members.

The church's core product is the weekly worship experience, supplemented by a broad programmatic portfolio including Kids Planet (children's ministry for ages 6 weeks through 5th grade), Remix (student ministry for grades 6-12), Small Groups with Living Free recovery support, Marriage Programs (Sacred Marriage, SYNC premarital, Re|Engage), Sagebrush Music Academy (paid group music lessons), SALT leadership development, Core Classes (biblical training), and M1ssion outreach (local, national, and international trips). Technology infrastructure includes PushPay for digital giving, Church Center for registrations and event management, Vimeo for video hosting, and Spotify for worship content distribution. Most programs are free, with paid programs generating modest ancillary revenue (Music Academy $150-$450 per semester, Sacred Marriage $30 per couple, SALT courses $15 plus books).

Sagebrush Church is funded primarily through tithes, offerings, and donations from members, collected via in-person services, the mobile app, and online giving platforms with one-time and recurring options. While revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, the multi-campus footprint, broadcast operations, and paid program catalog indicate a meaningful operating budget. The organization has no parent company, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no patented technology; it operates as an independent non-profit entity in the religious services sector.
