Altepetl — A Place Where People Live and Belong

In Nahuatl, altepetl means community — literally "water and mountain," the two things that give life and stand firm. This church is built to be both.

We gather in Ingleside, Texas and across distances to support one another on the path of spiritual growth, sobriety, and right relationship with the Earth.

Our community holds nine guiding values: Humility, Faith, Respect, Charity, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Honor, Courage, and Reciprocity. These values guide every gathering, every prayer, every act of service.

Our doors are open to all who arrive with a sincere heart.

Chicnahui Tlamantli — Nine Living Principles

Drawn from Indigenous teachings carried through generations. Kept alive in our practice today.
