Chaplaincy Program

The Albuquerque International Sunport provides pastoral care for people on the move through its inter-religious chaplaincy program.  Sunport chaplains reach out to people at the Sunport who sometimes find themselves caught up in the frantic pace of today’s global environment.  The hustle and bustle of air transportation with its focus on schedules, connections and security can be stressful for passengers, their families, and airport employees.  When someone at the Sunport finds themselves in need of a compassionate ear or someone to turn to for advice, Sunport chaplains are available either on the premises or through a 24/7 pager (YOU-CHAP/968-2427). Any of the chaplains at the Albuquerque International Sunport stand ready to help people with any of their spiritual needs, including contacting local spiritual leaders of major religions or joining them in silent prayer in the Meditation Room.The Sunport chaplaincy program is administered by the Sunport Chaplaincy Authority, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation.  The SCA does not charge for its service and donations are always welcome.  (Please call 505-610-3353)

Airport Chaplains

Sunport chaplains are volunteers who serve in a completely inter-religious spiritual capacity.  Although the spiritual strength of each chaplain is rooted within his/her particular religion, the Albuquerque Sunport does not intend for their service to represent the presence of any particular belief group or system.  Rather, the chaplains minister to all Sunport employees, travelers, and guests without regard to the person’s religious creed.

Meditation Room

Guests, travelers and employees at the Sunport who wish to spend some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle are welcome to use the new Meditation Room located on the First Level across from Baggage Claim Area 8.
