Community of Christ is part of the Latter Day Saint movement family of churches in The American Church Story. 47 congregations of the Latter Day Saint movement family gather across New Mexico — 4,546 across the United States on The Church Map.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the other bodies descending from Joseph Smith's 1830 restoration teach that the New Testament church was restored through a modern prophet, and they read the Book of Mormon alongside the Bible. Latter-day Saints describe themselves as Christians; most trinitarian churches do not recognize their baptism. This map records that disagreement rather than settling it, and lists these congregations because they are part of the religious life of every place they are in.

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. 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.
