Church of the Resurrection was born in the heart of God. As leaders in the Presbyterian Church in America prayed for Flagstaff, the vision for a new church plant became reality. In the spring of 2002, Brad Bradley met with Pastor Bob Norton. Although Pastor Bob was serving with another congregation, he encouraged Brad Bradley and the PCA to plant a new church to reach people for Christ.
Sensing God’s leading to unite with the PCA, Pastor Bob met with Pastor Mark Roessler, Chair of Missions for the Southwest Presbytery. This historic, divine appointment occurred in November of 2006. They began a process of discernment which culminated with the transfer of ordination for Bob Norton to become a Teaching Elder in the PCA effective July 20, 2007.
The Steering Committee gathered and plans came to fruition for a Sunday, October 7, 2007, launch at DeMiguel Elementary School. After one year, the church moved its worship service to the Commons at Coconino Community College effective October 5, 2008.
The Learning Center, located at 751 E. Pine Knoll Dr, became our headquarters for ministry with a dedication gathering on Holy Saturday, April 11, 2009. Our offices, counseling center, and educational programs are housed there. By God’s grace we are a truly great church in the making. As we were born in the heart of God, so only God knows what this church can become. We are committed to living for His glory and trusting Him to perpetuate “a vision for greatness” in our hearts as we seek to be faithful witnesses to the living Christ.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
