The Hispanic District of Birmingham, Ala., recently celebrated the launch of its fourth congregation since 2020, establishing a new church plant in Pelham, Ala.
The inauguration was the conclusion of the evangelistic series “The Revelations of Jesus Christ,” presented by Julio Chazarreta, pastor and Southern Union Hispanic Ministries director, and featured a concert by Christian singer Hugo Yin.
Rammy Robles, district pastor, challenged the missionary team and future intern pastor, Marcelo Pérez, to focus on making disciples in every home rather than simply increasing church membership.
Leaders from the Gulf States Conference joined the celebration, including Gerson Sánchez, pastor and Gulf States Hispanic ministries coordinator; Josue Murillo, pastor and vice president for ministerial; and Brian Danese, Gulf States president. Robles formally presented the Pelham mission group to Danese, who accepted the congregation on behalf of the Conference, issued an official certificate, and prayed for three district families who shared testimonies of God’s providence in their release from immigration custody.
The highlight of the event was a baptismal service, in which four youth, two children, and one adult who had first connected with the Birmingham Church online, publicly committed their lives to Christ.
Looking ahead, the Birmingham Hispanic District plans to establish three additional congregations, including one dedicated to youth ministries, as they continue expanding the Gospel throughout Shelby County and beyond.
