New Mexico

There are presently six assemblies in New Mexico: three in the Albuquerque area, one in Las Cruces 225 miles to the south; a small assembly in Clovis on the eastern edge of the state, an equal distance away from Albuquerque; and one in Los Alamos, northwest of Santa Fe and about a two-hour drive north of Albuquerque. Thus, inter-assembly interaction is difficult in the state.

The work at the Clovis Gospel Chapel, was begun by David Metler and his wife, missionaries to the Indians. Mr. Metler is now with the Lord, but his wife carries on in the small assembly.

The Los Alamos Christian Fellowship was formed in 1975 by Elwood Jordan, Ralph Dahlstrom, James Patterson, and Jack Jacobson. Meeting in the Patterson home until 1986, the assembly has met since then in the ROTC Room at the Pueblo School Complex. Leaders have been Andy McEwin, Paul Mendoza, Steve Hanson, Todd Haines, and Steve Booth. In 1996, the assembly had about 30 adults in fellowship and 20 youngsters.
