La Primera Iglesia Bautista de Caguas, ubicada en Caguas, Puerto Rico, vive una etapa de renovación espiritual y comunitaria tras un año de intenso trabajo centrado en la revitalización de su vida litúrgica. Bajo el lema “Ha llegado el tiempo de cantar”, la congregación ha impulsado una serie de iniciativas que integran música, formación teológica, reflexión bíblica y participación intergeneracional con el fin de redescubrir la riqueza de la adoración como experiencia integral de fe. Alberto J. Díaz Rivera, pastor de la congregación, explicó que el proyecto surgió de un proceso de discernimiento sobre cómo fortalecer la espiritualidad y la comunión. “Nuestro proyecto estuvo basado en un proceso de revitalización de la experiencia de la adoración a través de la incorporación de músicos, de la capacitación y de la comunión entre creyentes”, señaló.
