On June 28, nearly 1,400 members from the Hispanic churches of the Northern California Conference gathered at Pacific Union College for a vibrant festival of faith, joy, and gratitude.
Pastors, members, lay workers, and families from across the region gathered to recognize the inspiring work and workers in their local churches. The day was alive with music, heartfelt worship, and testimonials of service. Groups paraded joyfully, bearing banners that noted their particular ministry, publicly declaring their passion for spreading the Gospel and advancing God’s kingdom.
A highlight of the gathering was the recognition of more than 50 lay leaders who have faithfully served their congregations and communities. Nominated by pastors and leaders of their respective churches, they were celebrated as shining examples of active discipleship and commitment to God’s mission. One visitor, who is receiving Bible studies, came and received an award on behalf of his mentor, who was unable to make the trip.
Paul Guevara, Hispanic Ministries Coordinator, stated, “This was an important celebration, and thank you to the many passionate pastors and dedicated volunteers who serve our communities.”
