We are without a Lead Pastor since our former pastor resigned to pastor a church in Arkansas. Please pray for our church as we search for a new under-shepherd and for our next pastor who our Lord already has selected for us. 

I grew up in the East mountains, graduated from Manzano High School and attended Hesston College in Kansas. It is there I met Mike, my husband of 33 years. We have three adult children. Marie, married to David, Nathan and Abbey. We also have two grandkids and another on the way. We enjoy family get together's and watching Alabama football. We love serving in our local church and seeking to further God's Kingdom.

Growing up in the small eastern New Mexico village of Grady taught me 3 things, you can make your own gum if you chew up enough grains of wheat, you can see people coming to visit for miles, and family is very important. While attending Eastern New Mexico University, I met Buffy at the BSU, Twice (Ask us for details). While dating, we starting working at the Baptist Children’s Home, allowing the opportunity for us to get married on the grounds there. Buffy and I now have 2 beautiful daughters, Morgan Brooke and Tyla Mason. As a family, we enjoy spending time together hunting, fishing, and spending time together.

I was born in Grants, NM and moved to Las Cruces when I was 5 years old. It was there that my dad began his ministry as a Youth & Music Pastor. And so the journey began... We served at churches in Las Cruces, NM, Pilot Point, TX, Bunnell, FL, Greenville, SC and Belen, NM. Through the years I have been heavily involved in Children's, Youth and Adult Choirs and have always had a passion for singing for Jesus. In 1984, I began my law enforcement career and served for 21 years with the New Mexico State Police. I married my wife Gail in 1985. We have two adult children: Cassie is married to Trevor Rogers, and they have blessed us with two awesome grandchildren. Our son, Cody Brittain lives in Oregon. I retired from the State Police at the rank of Sargent in 2005, and then I served as a police officer for 4.5 years with the Town of Edgewood, NM. I love to hunt, fish, camp and explore the great outdoors with Gail and the kids. I am a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team - "Roll Tide"! It is an honor and privilege to lead our congregation in Worship.
