While researching my family history, I spent many a day and night combing through thousands of pages of microfilm. FamilySearch.org has a generous amount of microfilm available online, however, I found it difficult to navigate their directory when it came to trying to figure out which microfilms were available for each church and for which particular time periods. Once I have time, I will list the names of the microfilms I used as sources of information on my ancestors. For now, you will find that information on the individual profile pages.
These are two incredibly helpful pdfs that I keep with me at all times as I continue to research:
1) Finding Aid for Church Records
By: New Mexico Genealogical Society

2) Finding Aid for Microfilmed Church Records (Revised July 2016)
Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library

On FamilySearch.org, you can also locate a local Family History Center where you can view their microfilms online (including restricted ones you aren't able to view from home). In September 2017, they stopped sending out microfilms to their Family History Centers but the
Southern California Genealogical Society Library, Burbank, CA has a number of microfilms they've been able to keep on extended stay/permanently. I visited them this past weekend and made a list of the ones pertaining to New Mexico and Mexico, but they also have microfilms on other countries and states. (when I have time I will look up the content of each one and post it here - for now, you can look them up at the FamilySearch.org website to see what the content is).
