One passage that profoundly shapes my vision of holistic growth is found in Luke 2:52, which says, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” This verse serves as a guiding light, laying a firm foundation for creating a model of purposeful, holistic growth among our district's churches.
Nestled within the vibrant fabric of Washington Conference, our district comprises Hispanic congregations situated in the diverse communities of Bellevue Central, Renton and Burien. The members embody a rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds, proudly representing countries such as Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico, Colombia and many others.
United by the fervent desire to fulfill the prophetic call articulated in Rev. 14:6–7, they gather with an unwavering commitment to share the eternal good news: “Then I saw another angel flying through the sky, bringing the eternal good news to proclaim to every person in the world — to every people, nation, tribe and language. ‘Fear God,’ he cried out. ‘Give Him glory, because the time has come for Him to take his place as judge. Worship Him who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and every spring of water!’”
With the mission to reach and uplift the countless individuals yearning for Christ’s hope, the district has carefully crafted a dynamic missionary project that intricately weaves together small groups, women's and men's ministries, children's ministries, Adventurer clubs, Pathfinders and Master Guides.
These are an essential part of a holistic approach to personal and public evangelism that brings edification to members and hope to communities through personal Bible studies, public evangelism conferences and other outreach projects.
Each church engages with its unique local context, identifying specific outreach areas tailored to the diverse needs of its community. Our targeted efforts aim to connect with children gleefully exploring their faith, young adults seeking purpose and direction, seniors in need of companionship and support, and individuals facing health challenges who crave encouragement and understanding.
Our mission unfolds in bustling urban environments, where every enthusiastic member collaborates to share the transformative message of hope with every human heart, embracing all without distinction or prejudice.
We take immense joy in the abundant fruits that the Holy Spirit has graciously bestowed upon us. Our unwavering focus on holistic, Christ-centered growth propels us forward, keeping us anchored in our divine purpose. We aspire to remain steadfast as channels of love and hope for our communities until the glorious day of Jesus’ return.
