Bowling Green Hispanic Company Celebrates Years of Growth and Perseverance

The Bowling Green, Ky., Hispanic Company marked a major milestone on January 25, 2025, officially transitioning from a mission group to a company. This is a step forward in their goal to serve the local Hispanic community.

The roots of the Bowling Green Hispanic Company date back more than 20 years ago, when church members from the Nashville First Hispanic Church traveled to the area to conduct Bible studies. According to longtime member Moisés Bran, the congregation first began gathering with an English-speaking church before establishing a separate worship service in 2010.

"In the early years, many members came and went, especially those who were in the area temporarily," Bran said. "But even though growth fluctuated, what kept us going was the desire to serve God and the dream of one day having our own church."

The Bowling Green Hispanic Company is actively engaged in community outreach programs. In 2024, the church organized several initiatives, including a virtual seminar with Telemundo immigration attorney Alma Rosa Nieto, which drew around 200 attendees. The church also held food and clothing distribution drives to better serve the community.

Currently, the congregation meets in the facilities of the English-speaking Bowling Green Church. While Bran expressed gratitude for the warmth and kindness shown by this church, he said one of their next major goals is to secure a permanent location of their own for worship and outreach.

"Our greatest hope is to become independent and plant more churches in the Bowling Green area,” Bran said. “This experience has taught me that God is good and watches over His work. The church exists because it is His, not ours.”
