East Louisville Hispanic Company Transitions to Organized Church Status
On Saturday, November 2, the Hispanic Adventist community in Louisville, Kentucky, celebrated a significant milestone as the East Hispanic Company transitioned into an organized church. The event was marked by the presence of Pastor Armando de León, Kentucky-Tennessee Conference Hispanic Coordinator, and Pastor Edward Morton, Kentucky-Tennessee Conference Youth Director.
The day began with a review of the 28 fundamental, reaffirming the faith, values, and teachings shared by the congregation. The service featured inspiring musical performances by international singer Rodolfo Vázquez and included several moments dedicated to heartfelt prayer.
During the dedication service, the importance of spreading the message of salvation to those facing life without hope and serving those in need was highlighted, with an emphasis on sharing God’s divine plan for humanity. The celebration included words of encouragement from the administration, as members were urged to continue their efforts to strengthen and consolidate the new church.
Pastor Bladimir Manzano challenged the members to remain committed to evangelistic planning and to embrace new believers warmly. He also recounted the origins of the congregation, noting that in May 2019, the Montero family, led by Brother Abel, took on the challenge of starting a mission group with just eight people. Since then, the church has grown, adding over 50 members through sustained evangelistic work.
