Honoring history through Preservation

The Friends of the Ruidosa Church is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to the

preservation and restoration of the historic adobe landmark El Corazón Sagrado de

la Iglesia de Jesús in Ruidosa, Texas.  As a vital piece of West Texas history, this

structure represents the resilience, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage of the region.

Our mission is to stabilize, restore, and revitalize this historic site, ensuring its longevity for

future generations. Through community engagement, teaching traditional adobe restoration practices,

and sustainable preservation efforts, we aim to honor the past while creating a meaningful

gathering space for all.

By safeguarding our built environment, we deepen our connection to history and enrich the

present. Together, we can raise the bell, restore the walls, and preserve a landmark that tells the

story of Ruidosa’s enduring spirit.
