About Us
History
What started as a few people meeting in a garage on Carlyle Street, in the 1970's, has since grown to a couple hundred meeting together to worship their Creator. While the setting has changed for First Evangelical Free Church, the welcoming attitude of the people has not. The church has become a vital part of the Las Cruces community and is now in the process of relocating to a larger facility on Dripping Spring Road.
