What Pastors and students are saying

Students
Hundreds of local churches from all over the world are using this dynamic curriculum to disciple and train believers from foundational truths to becoming effective ministers and leaders.

Reproducing The Life Of Christ in Others
At Church Alive, we’ve concluded that every believer is a minister, and our job is to equip you to do the work. Reproducing His life in others encompasses quite a bit. It can be as simple as learning how to share your faith, but continue through advanced training, and even School of Ministry for those feeling the specific call of ministry. Wherever you are on your journey, we want to help!

It All Started With These Words At Church Alive
I’m dreaming of a well-functioning body of believers harkening unto the voice of the Captain of Hosts, establishing His kingdom rule upon the earth and in the lives of others, and these communities to spring up around the world...

Meet The Administration

FOUNDING PASTORS - MIKE AND SHERI SCHAEFER
Pastors Mike and Sheri were born again and Spirit-filled in 1972, shortly after they were married. Pastor Mike worked in the construction industry, and Pastor Sheri taught for the Albuquerque Public Schools. In the 1970’s they both served in several positions at the church they attended. In 1982, they made the decision to attend Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma; which is also accredited through Transworld Accrediting Commission International. They graduated in 1984 and returned to Albuquerque. Upon returning to Albuquerque, they served in full time supportive staff ministry for almost ten years. In late 1992, the Lord began to deal with Pastor Mike about being a Senior Pastor. In May of 1994, both Pastors Mike and Sheri resigned their ministry position. Six months later, they started Church Alive! The Holy Spirit impressed Pastor Mike to cross the river and begin the church in the northwest area of Albuquerque.

After meeting in various temporary locations, in August of 2003, Church Alive moved into its current location! Pastors Mike and Sheri have been involved in ministry for over thirty years. They have hosted a television program, “Parenting with Purpose” and have also held marriage seminars. Our pastors also have a heart for the nations, particularly Asia. They have led missions teams to Mexico, China and several trips to Thailand.
