Monty Leavell
Senior Pastor
I grew up in Texico, NM, and was very active in 4-H and FFA. After graduating from NMSU with a degree in Animal Science, I was pursuing my dream of ranching. However, God had other plans. While working on a ranch and serving in a small Methodist Church, I felt the call into ministry. I attended Asbury Theological Seminary and received my Master of Divinity degree in 1993. I've served three churches in the New Mexico and Northwest Texas Annual Conferences. Philippians 3:7-12 is my favorite Scripture because "I want to know Christ more."
