Welcome to ABCNJ's Latino Ministries Section!

Centered in Christ, everything we have done in the preceding year is dedicated for the glory of God and only for him.  We testify that ABCNJ Latino Ministries enjoys many blessings from Our Lord and the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit.  Otherwise, success would be only a human quest, but our calling is to follow Christ as faithful disciples.

We presently have 40 Latino churches within ABCNJ, including Spanish and Portuguese speaking congregations all over the Garden State.  Our churches and missions are active in the overall regional program, contributing with our efforts and resources to the extension of God’s Word throughout cities and neighborhoods, towns and suburbs.  Our churches serve as the spiritual home for people from about 30 different nationalities.  Of course, we also serve those born in this great American nation, and help them appreciate their cultural roots, as they worship and testify for God in Spanish and Portuguese.

I am very grateful for the opportunity I have to see these wonderful achievements in each activity and in every new mission start.  I also feel immense gratitude to ABCNJ and our regional leadership for the way they have contributed to the health, assistance and encouragement of our Latino community.
