Church of Pecos a 100 percent commitment church
John Paul Pitts reviews the Church of Pecos at Third and Eddy in Pecos. He describes a sincere, dedicated charismatic congregation with strong unity and welcoming members, but notes an exclusive feel for outsiders and a lack of invitations or altar calls. He contrasts lively music and teaching with a clublike atmosphere and questions lukewarm adherence.
