First Presbyterian Church is part of the Methodist family of churches in The American Church Story. 103 congregations of the Methodist family gather across New Mexico — 25,985 across the United States on The Church Map.

Methodism gave the church the class meeting, the circuit rider, and the Sunday school, and gave America the conviction that grace is genuinely for everyone — carried into prisons, mines, and mill towns by preachers who owned almost nothing. Charles Wesley's hymns are still sung in nearly every tradition, most of them by people who have no idea whose they are.

The community around First Presbyterian Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter 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.
