Presbyterians Help Meet the Needs of a Growing Hispanic population
The Presbytery of Indian Nations is engaging the growing Hispanic community in Central Oklahoma through the New Hope Hispanic Center, which offers English as a second language classes, family wellness programs, Bible study and sports. The Church of the Savior, in partnership with the presbytery and the Presbyterian Mission Agency, is hosting an evangelist and a team of teachers and leaders in building a community of faith and transition—faith through growth of a worshiping community, and transition through greater facility with the English language and enhancement of life skills. A bilingual academy for early primary grades also is planned.
