Westminster Leadership

Lester Cover

Ruling Elder

Les and his wife Bobbie were charter members of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico at its inception in 1965. In the following years the uncertainties of long-term employment for Engineers resulted in several relocations with the resulting variety of church homes that those relocations necessitated. During those years the Covers were blessed with membership in several Reformed congregations including a Christian Reformed Church (CRC) in Albuquerque, two Orthodox Presbyterian Churches (OPC), one in San Jose and one Modesto California, and three PCA churches in New Mexico: Bryce Avenue PCA in Los Alamos, University PCA in Las Cruces, and again after retirement in 1993, at Westminster PCA in Alamogordo. Over the years Les has served on the Sessions of both Bryce Avenue PCA and Westminster PCA, and as a Deacon at The OPC church in Modesto. He has also served as the Stated Clerk of the Southwest Presbytery of the PCA.
