New Mexico Needs
Biblical Fathers.
Pride will send a man to hell. Biblical fatherhood will not. This June, we are calling every father in our state to lead his house to the Lord.
A generation is waiting on its fathers.
Right here in New Mexico, we rank last in education. One in four kids lives in poverty. Our violent crime rate sits among the highest in the country. One in four American children is growing up without a father in the home.
Those numbers are not a sentence. They are a starting point. Fathers who know the Lord change cities. Fathers who walk with God raise sons and daughters who walk with God. Children with engaged dads do better in school, stay out of trouble, and grow into adults who serve their families and their communities.
God is calling the fathers of New Mexico to stop drifting and start leading. The bar is faithfulness.
Legacy is a man's church. Pastor Steve has said it for years and we mean it without apology. The phrase is not about pushing women aside, it is about lifting up the whole household. When a husband takes his rightful place, his wife is honored and his children are anchored. The home rises together.
The presence of a father changes everything.
Decades of national data point to one of the most reliable predictors of a child's future: an engaged, godly father at home.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
Imagine a New Mexico where every father is in church every weekend, plugged in every midweek, and taking his rightful place at home.
Four things we're encouraging every father to do.
Each one is rooted in Scripture, and it starts this June with being in church every service.
Be in church
every service.
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Hebrews 10:25
Make this June the month you commit to being in church every weekend and every midweek, with your wife and kids beside you. Spiritual leadership starts with showing up, and your family is watching where you place your time.

like Christ loved the church.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
Ephesians 5:25
Legacy is a man's church without apology, and that is not about diminishing women. It is about empowering them. When a man takes his rightful place at home, his wife flourishes in everything God has called her to be.
Raise your children
in the Lord.
"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
Ephesians 6:4
Pray with them, open the Bible together, and tell them who Jesus is. Discipline with love instead of anger, and point them to the Lord in the ordinary moments of every day.
Choose this day
whom you will serve.
"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15
It is one decision, then a thousand decisions after that. This June, make the choice and walk it out. We will stand beside you at Legacy Church and help you build a house that serves the Lord.
