Founded in 1909, Mescalero Reformed Church is a vibrant and multigenerational congregation located in the heart of a Native American Reservation in South Central New Mexico. The reservation includes persons of Mescalero, Lipan, and Chiricahua descent. The church has a history of 115 years; it began as a “mission church” and now seeks to move into the future in a dynamic way!

The community of Mescalero is richly blessed with a wonderful cultural heritage. For the people of Mescalero Reformed Church, maintaining their cultural identity while committing to follow and serve Jesus is paramount. This heritage, along with their faith, influences every part of their lives. With a rich history of faith and community engagement, the church has been a beacon of hope and spiritual growth.

The integration of cultural heritage and faith is central to their mission: “to purposefully present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our community through living out the mandate to Love God and Love Others.”

We are seeking a dedicated and dynamic full-time pastor to lead our congregation into the next chapter. The ideal candidate will have a deep commitment to Christ, strong leadership skills, and a heart for serving people of all ages and backgrounds. This position offers an exciting opportunity to combine a love for God and others with a rich cultural heritage experience.

If you feel called to serve as our pastor and shepherd multiple generations in a welcoming, tradition-rooted, and growth-oriented community, please submit your resume, a cover letter expressing your vision for ministry, and relevant supporting materials to Marge Salcido at  We look forward to prayerfully considering all applicants and discerning God's leading in this important decision.
