GLUE Ministry was founded by Senior Pastor Nema LeCuyer of El Calvario UMC during her time as Associate Minister at University UMC in the summer of 2013. This ministry is directed toward providing religious support services, such as prayer, worship, and communion, to the incarcerated youth of New Mexico.
