About Us
We may be biased, but we think we have the very best team of people around leading our House week in and week out! Hope Unlimited Church Santa Fe is led by Larry and Rachel DeLaGarza who are supported by an incredible team of some of the most gifted, creative, winsome and hard-working people around.
Our Story
Hope Unlimited Church began with a simple yes to God.
We moved from California to New Mexico with a calling to plant a life-giving church and reach people with the hope of Jesus. It started with interest nights at a downtown coffee shop and just four families who were willing to step out in faith with us.
In the early days, we showed up each week not knowing who might come, trusting God completely. Little by little, families began to join, relationships formed, and a launch team was built. We found a small space to rent downtown, and for the first two years it became home as our church family grew.
As God continued to move, He opened the door to a new location across town—closer to where many families lived. Growth followed, and we expanded into the building in front of us, once again seeing God’s perfect timing and provision.
In 2019, we took a major step of faith by acquiring 25 acres of land, believing God for a permanent home and a future that would serve generations to come. After that, God provided a semi-permanent home for us at the Santa Fe Fashion Outlets, where we continue to gather and grow while preparing to build on the land He entrusted to us.
Through every season, we have experienced the favor and faithfulness of God. Today, we are in the midst of architectural planning and moving forward day by day toward building a campus that will include a church, academy, daycare, sports facility, and retail space. We remain committed to building a church that helps people live on purpose and live unlimited—now and for generations to come.
