Immigrant Accompaniment Program
Volunteer Now
Our immigrant neighbors are increasingly afraid, and you can help in a very real way. The Faith Coalition asks you to consider volunteering with Las Cumbres to walk alongside them. Volunteers receive orientation, training, supervision, and debriefing. Your presence through accompaniment says: “This person is seen. This person matters. The community is watching.”

As we begin a new season for both groups, you are welcomed to join in with the form of your choice and see what we are all about! A love of words but no journaling experience is necessary. Each course will include 10 monthly sessions, September-June.

Reclaiming the Good News of God’s Grace

Save the dates for our upcoming adult ed series Sunday mornings: September 20–27 & October 11-18. Revs. Ashley Birk and San Williams lead this series based on the book Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America.

The Community Solar Project for You
PBM Breakfast, Sep 12, 8:30am
We welcome our honored guest speaker, Ishwari Sollohub, in conjunction with Third Act NM. This presentation will introduce you to a program based on the NM Community Solar Act (CS). Learn how you can “go solar” without having to install panels. The law requires utilities like PNM to buy solar energy from solar gardens, to cover the usage of customers who are enrolled in CS. The utilities are also required to apply credits to these bills – with the result that you pay less! Come and find out more about this win-win proposition, where New Mexicans have the satisfaction of going solar while saving money.”
Volunteers Needed for Family Ministry
Help Us Love Like Jesus
It takes a community to nurture the faith of our children—and we need you! Our Family Ministry program is growing, and we are looking for volunteers who are willing to share their time, gifts, and hearts with children and families in our congregation. You don’t have to be a teacher or have years of experience working with children. You simply need a willingness to show up, connect, encourage, and help create a welcoming place where children can learn about God’s love.
Upcoming Inquirers Class
Sat, Oct 3, 9:30-12:30am
Are you interested in learning more about First Presbyterian Church of Santa Fe or joining the church as an active member of the congregation? Then this one-session Saturday morning class is for you. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, sharing our faith stories, learning about the Presbyterian church, and how you can get involved.
