Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen
Church History
The lot at Calhoun and First Streets, plus a small house was given to Mrs. Gertrude Martin in 1919 by Judge Hamlin as a place of worship. Mrs. Martin served as musician until her death in 1952
The church was organized in 1919 by Rev. William Young of Albuquerque, New Mexico, who served as Pastor and journeyed to Clovis every first and third Sunday to hold services. As the community grew, there was an increased need for a larger building to house what had evolved into a church-school. The small church was used as a school during the week and church services were held on Sundays. Mrs. Margie Ford of Temple, Texas came to teach but did not remain. Mrs. Ida O Jackson came to teach as her replacement.
The Santa Fe Railroad brought workers to the community and the community began to grow and thrive. In the late twenties the Watson family came to Clovis and Brother Henry Watson was ne of the first ordained Deacons, and his children attended school taught by Mrs. Jackson. In the early 30’s another ordained Deacon moved to Clovis, Brother Ralph Taylor, and the church began operating on a greater scale. During this time Reverend Young moved to Clovis and was called as a full-time Pastor.
