Hispanic Ministries:

We are the evangelistic arm of Myrtle Grove Baptist Church to Hispanics and their families in the Pensacola area.  Our goal is to seek, identify and reach the 10,000-strong Spanish speaking community, which statistics show actually live in this area.

Hispanics living in our area are scattered and with characteristics that include a mix of languages.  Usually, roots of the older generation are basically Hispanic in language and tradition, with children brought up within the American culture and language.  This provides Myrtle Grove Baptist Church with unique opportunities to provide a Hispanic family full support in their Christian walk.  There is no language barrier for the Spanish speaking in our mission and the broad number of ministries, such as services for children and young adults offered by the main church, satisfies the specific needs of the Hispanic family that lives in America; in our case, Pensacola.

Our goal is to identify their location, family composition and cultural backgrounds.  This offers us the opportunity to reach out effectively by identifying their needs and matching them to our ministries.  We offer them Jesus as their Savior and Myrtle Grove as their home.

To assist in our Ministry, we have two broadcast opportunities in the Pensacola area.  First, we broadcast on local television channel 12 (Cox Cable Channel 39) each Monday at 6:30 PM and on the local AM Radio Station WRNE (980 AM) on Saturday at 7:00 PM.

Here are a few ways you may be able to help:

1. Pray for us.  Pray hard!
2. Administrative assistance.  Prepare flyers, write letters, make phone calls to prospects.
3. Planning.  Plan activities that will interest our prospects.  Organize meetings in the community.
4. Hospital visitation.  Visit our members and prospects who are in local hospitals.
5. Food Preparation.  Prepare food and snacks for item 3. above.
6. Volunteer for the next semester of FAITH.

If you know of a Spanish speaking person or family, please give us their name, address and phone numbers.  God will bless you for it!  Remember, there is no language or ethnic barriers with God.  Jesus came and died for all of us.
