Iglesia De Christo El Renuevo

This last Sunday (Dec. 4th), I visited Iglesia De Christo El Renuevo at 963 Transport Way. This is a Spanish pentecostalist church, similar to Iglesia Apostolico which I visited back in March, though different. They average about 25 members in attendance on Sundays, with mixed ages.

The pastor is Luis Signor. I believe he told me he is from Guatemala.

Spanish pentecostalists tend to have very lively and emotional services, though at times, the music slows down to allow a very intense connection with God and the Holy Spirit. It seems to work well in the Hispanic culture, which may explain why pentecostalism is one of the fastest growing church movements in Latin America. The service goes about 2 and a half hours, so plan accordingly if you visit.

They are part of a much larger organization called Ministerios Ebenezer. I am not sure what that is, but when I do a search on the web, they seem to be all over Latin America.
