Places of Worship

Cloudcroft United Methodist Church

These are exciting and challenging days at Cloudcroft United Methodist Church. It is thrilling to see God’s hand at work in our midst. We are growing numerically, growing in service in our area, growing in missions abroad; and we are rejoicing at God’s goodness to us. Our new fully accessible Sanctuary was built in 2000, and the mortgage was burned in August 2010. In 2011 we began construction of our new ADA equipped parsonage. Our prayer is that God’s blessing and guidance will continue to rest upon us as we continue to “Build for Eternity.” The church also ministers to the children of the community. We strive to provide the highest quality of child care, addressing the development of the whole child, M-F, 7:45am-5pm for infant to Prekindergarten. Come worship with us on Sunday at 10:45AM. Discipleship for adults and youth or Sunday School classes for children begin at 9:30AM.

We are a multi-faceted agency that manages and protects 154 national forests and 20 grasslands in 43 states and Puerto Rico. The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

We have an elite wildland firefighting team and the world’s largest forestry research organization. Our experts provide technical and financial help to state and local government agencies, businesses, private landowners and work government-to-government with tribes to help protect and manage non-federal forest and associated range and watershed lands.

We augment our work through partnerships with public and private agencies that help us plant trees, improve trails, educate the public, and improve conditions in wildland/urban interfaces and rural areas, just to name a few. Our team also promotes sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation internationally.

Gifford Pinchot, first Chief of the Forest Service, summed up the mission of the Forest Service: “to provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run.”
