In November of 1874 the Church of Taos was organized as the Rev. J. M. Roberts was the first Pastor. He came to this area in 1872 to work with the Pueblo Indians; instead he soon began work with the Spanish people.

In the early 1890's a Mission School was built on the present public school property. The building was constructed in memory of Mrs. Mary Pyle, by the Home Mission Board of Cincinnati Presbytery. The school was closed in 1916.

The present sanctuary was completed and dedicated in 1952. The Christian Education Building was built in 1964. The building are constructed in authentic Pueblo style architecture, the only indigenous style on the North American continent. The style consists of three elements: Pre-Columbian, Spanish, and modern utility.
