Do you miss church when it felt more traditional? 

Join us every second Tuesday of the month for Legacy service! We have a traditional service, worship music, and time to enjoy a potluck after service.

Legacy Leadership

Pastor Dave Vistine

Pastors David and Ilda Vistine came to Las Cruces in 1993 and served as the lead pastor for over 28 years. They came when the church was small and had a vision to reach this community with the Gospel and to build a great missions church in the area. He has served on the presbyter for the network for over 20 years and currently serving as an honorary presbyter.


In April of 2022, Pastor Dave and Ilda lead a succession plan to hand the leadership of Las Cruces First to their son and his wife, Pastor Paul and Kerry Vistine. Currently, Pastor Dave and Ilda are serving as the Legacy Pastor at Las Cruces First and are still actively serving the church body along with serving other congregations in the state as a mentor and coaches.
