ORIGINS

We are a part of a global movement of Christians whose history spans from the early church to the Protestant Reformation to the 21st century.

We are under the authority of our Province, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), then the authority of our diocese, the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains (DRM). Our diocese is led by Bishop Ken Ross.

We were planted by Wellspring Englewood, a DRM church in Denver, Colorado that has sent out five church plants. Kempton discerned ordination and was ordained a presbyter at Wellspring.

Wellspring Englewood is one of those churches planted out of the Anglican Church of Rwanda. With a DNA of church planting, Wellspring has planted four churches, Resurrection Anglican being the most recent and coming soon will be the fifth.

Years of training, learning, and discerning led the Jacksons to Santa Fe, NM, their home state, in September 2019 to plant Resurrection Anglican Church as an affiliate of the Wellspring Network.

When the COVID-19 shutdowns began in March 2019, Kempton and Carissa saw an opportunity to begin meeting as a church, even if it was six months before the planned launch. By God’s grace, a group of several families in the Santa Fe area joined the Jacksons for worship over Zoom from the Jacksons’ living room.

This is only the beginning of an exciting story of a church and God’s people in Santa Fe. We believe God has called Rez to dream big about church planting and raising up indigenous leaders in New Mexico. We pray for God’s moving through the Holy Spirit so that his will be done in New Mexico as it in heaven! Know that you are invited to join us in this quest to see God’s Kingdom come.
