Our Mission

Mi Gente Ministry exists to create a welcoming space where Hispanic and Latino students can explore and deepen their faith journey within the context of their cultural identity. We are committed to:

Cultural Celebration: Embracing and celebrating the rich diversity of Hispanic and Latino cultures through events, activities, and traditions that honor our heritage.
Spiritual Growth: Providing opportunities for spiritual growth, reflection, and formation through prayer, worship, Bible study, and discussions that resonate with our cultural perspectives.
Community Building: Cultivating a supportive community where students can connect, build relationships, and find solidarity in their faith and life experiences.

What We Offer

Regular Gatherings: We gather every week in a small group where we share life, pray, read the Bible, and plan events. This is a great way to make friends. No matter your faith journey, you’re invited.
FOJ en Espanol! Learning about faith can be challenging enough, let alone trying to study the Bible in a language you are not most familiar with. FOJ en Espanol is designed to help you ask questions and explore who Jesus is in your heart language! Nos encantaría estudiar contigo.
Cultural Events: Celebratory gatherings such as Hispanic Heritage Month festivities and cultural showcases that highlight the diversity and beauty of our traditions.
Social Activities: Fun and engaging social events including movie nights, dinners, and outings that strengthen friendships and create lasting memories.
