Belen Congregation is part of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bible Student movement family of churches in The American Church Story. 22 congregations of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bible Student movement family gather across New Mexico — 1,963 across the United States on The Church Map.

Jehovah's Witnesses and the related Bible Student groups hold that God's name is Jehovah, that Christ is God's first creation rather than God the Son, and that God's kingdom is a literal government soon to rule the earth. They do not present themselves as one denomination among others, and trinitarian churches do not receive them as one. Both of those are recorded here rather than resolved.

Within about a mile of this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
