McCurdy Ministries
A Light in the Valley
Our Commitment
McCurdy Ministries is a historic United Methodist National Mission Institution with a rich history of ministry in the Española Valley. We are committed to sharing the light of Christ in the Española Valley through a variety of ministries and programs focused on children, teens, and families.
In 2024, McCurdy Ministries became a Family Resource Center, offering hope, love, and grace to families in practical ways as trained family navigators connect them with a range of resources, including the Light House clothing closet, a food pantry through the Food Depot, a regional Diaper Bank, and a vibrant community on campus of partner non-profits.
.
The heart of McCurdy is to bless the lives of children and youth in the community by offering hope, dignity, resources, and education.

Resources & Programs
McCurdy Family Resource Campus
McCurdy’s Family Resource Campus (FRC) is a one-stop hub where families can find support, resources, and a strong sense of community. Made possible through a CYFD Family Services initiative, McCurdy FRC exists to strengthen and support families in meaningful ways.
The FRC Hub and Community Room are located in the Cole Building and serve as a central gathering space for programs and services. Our campus is also home to a vibrant network of resources, including the Light House Clothing Closet, Food Pantry & Regional Diaper Bank, and the Village of Casitas—a collaborative space that brings essential nonprofit partners together to serve our community.
New services are added each season as our campus continues to grow. Explore the resources available now and discover how McCurdy’s ministries can help support your family.
The Light House
We are beyond excited to announce that The Light House Clothing Closet is open in the mission school’s former Teacherage!
The Light House is a place where children and adults of all ages can "shop" for clothing in a way that leaves them with a deep sense of their beloved-ness and value!
