McCurdy Ministries
A Light in the Valley
Our Commitment
McCurdy Ministries is a historic United Methodist National Mission Institution with a rich history of ministry in the Española Valley. We are committed to sharing the light of Christ in the Española Valley through a variety of ministries and programs focused on children, teens, and families.
In 2024, McCurdy Ministries became a Family Resource Center, offering hope, love, and grace to families in practical ways as trained family navigators connect them with a range of resources, including the Light House clothes closet, a food pantry through the Food Depot, and support from state agencies, and partner non-profits on our campus.
We also are offering LEER (ley-EHR, “to read” in Spanish), a new children's literacy initiative ministry, and the ‘Enchanted Forest of Reading’ children’s library plus a Reading Buddy program.
In addition, McCurdy Ministries offers an After School program, a five-star Pre-K, Project Cariño mental health services, and a vibrant Volunteers in Mission program. The heart of McCurdy is to bless the lives of children and youth in the community by offering hope, dignity, resources, and education.
Resources & Programs
McCurdy Family Resource Center
McCurdy’s Family Resource Campus is a one-stop place for families to receive support, resources, and community. McCurdy FRC made possible through a CYFD Family Services initiative to support families. The Family Resource Center hub and Community Room are located in the Cole building. We also have a vibrant community of the Light House clothing closet, Food for Kids pantry from Food Depot, and other non-profits such as CASA First, United Way of Northern NM, Las Cumbres Grandparents Raising Grandkids, and more to come! Please pray for the staff, families, nonprofits, and others who will join us in this important ministry for families in the Española Valley.
After School Care
The Project Cariño Clubhouse is McCurdy Ministries' faith-based, after-school care program for students in kindergarten through 7th grade. Students experience free play, snacks, homework help, and educational games as well as faith-building arts and crafts, drama, and Bible study. Learn more about the program and how to enroll your child.
The Light House
We are beyond excited to announce that The Light House Clothing Closet is open in the mission school’s former Teacherage!
The Light House is a place where children and adults of all ages can "shop" for clothing in a way that leaves them with a deep sense of their beloved-ness and value!
