The demographic reality of California—especially Los Angeles, where most Spanish-speaking churches receive many immigrants—inspired Pastor Francisco Zamora of Modus Church and his leaders, Eunice Soriano and Barnett Quiñones, to launch the "Immigrant Church Project.”
In this episode, Nathan Longfield, pastor of Emmaus Church, a newer worshiping community, talks about their year-long project that explored embodiment and trauma-informed practices to more deeply engage in worship as a congregation and community.
Adviento es un tiempo de esperanza que anticipa la llegada del reino de paz-shalom, que trae alegría a la humanidad, pues manifiesta el amor inconmensurable y gratuito de Dios por todas las personas sin distinción alguna.
El segundo tiempo ordinario del Año Cristiano y el Calendario litúrgico (noviembre). La manera en que vivimos nuestras relaciones de cada día en la familia y con las instancias de poder, como el Estado, son otras formas de cumplir nuestra tarea misionera, de ser luz del mundo y sal de la tierra. No menos importante y sin duda más urgentes nuestra responsabilidad hacia la creación: la tarea ecológica.
This is a guide to Advent and Christmas worship planning resources from our website and our ministry partners' websites.
Many Christians understand the liturgical calendar as a way to follow the birth, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pentecost season reminds us of the Holy Spirit’s work.

Many Christians think that how they acquire and use money is peripheral to the gospel. Relatively few preachers address wealth and poverty in their sermons. Yet early Christianity proclaimed and practiced the countercultural value of caring for the poor. Their worship services reflected this value.
Advent is a season inspired and guided by the Bible’s many apocalyptic texts—texts that candidly describe tribulation and gloom, prophesy stunning reversals and vindication, and evoke unsentimental hope and sturdy joy. These texts tell of stars beginning to fall, plead for the heavens to open, and portray choirs of angel armies singing.
