Are you a spanish service of First Presbyterian church or a separate church?
Church on the Move is an autonomous congregation that shares space with First Presbyterian Church of Lake Placid. We maintain our distinctive identity, church focus, cultural values, and direction (to reach the bilingual and multi-ethnic community) while collaborating in various ministries with our generous hosts during this season. As we grow, we are developing our own programs while collaboratively serving the Highlands County community.
What is the difference between a 'Spanish language church' and a 'Multi-Ethnic and Bilingual church' ?
While there are many similarities between Hispanic churches and multi-ethnic churches in their dedication to the Gospel and serving Latino communities, we are convinced that the best way to serve the Latino (and non-Latino) population is with a healthy bilingual and multi-ethnic church. The following points below shows the distinctive characteristics of a bilingual and multi-ethnic church in the United States:
- Language & Reach: Serves multiple language groups; successfully engages first, second, and third generation Latinos (and non-Latinos) through bilingual approaches (Spanish and English)
- Cultural Focus: Intentionally embraces diverse Latino cultures (and non-Latino) regardless of the pastor’s heritage
- Leadership Development: Develops leaders locally within a multi-ethnic US context while honoring their cultural roots
- Church Connections: Strives to be well-connected to both Hispanic and Anglo-American churches; sharing resources, collaborating together. Views gospel-centered North American and Latin American churches as valuable ministry partners
- Financial Stability: More financially stable through contextually appropriate funding approaches and other creative forms of funding
- Biblical Understanding: Provides comprehensive biblical understanding of contemporary issues through culturally relevant teaching
- Theological Discernment: Fosters a love for God’s Word and good theology to transform people’s hearts and minds. Cultivates discernment against problematic teachings (legalism, the prosperity Gospel, and the false teaching of the cults) while promoting sound theology. Recognizes the critical need for Christian discipleship and education (formal and informal)
- Generational Ministry: Intentionally addresses the unique social, relational, and discipleship needs of each Latino generation (1st-3rd gen Hispanic and non-Hispanic)
- Cultural Integration: Celebrates Latino heritage while encouraging healthy integration with American culture and healthy American churches
- Accountability: Maintain consistent accountability through relationships with denominations or church networks
- Outreach: Strives to focus on all ethnic groups (Latino and non-Latino) locally and internationally
Church on the Move
A multi-ethnic church moving towards God in worship, discipleship, service, and surrender.
