The Hispanic Adventist community in Louisville, Ky., celebrated a significant milestone on November 2, 2024, as the East Hispanic Company transitioned into an organized church. The event was marked by the presence of Armando de León, pastor and Kentucky-Tennessee Conference Hispanic coordinator, and Edward Morton, pastor and Kentucky-Tennessee Conference youth director.

The day began with a review of the 28 Fundamental Beliefs, reaffirming the faith, values, and teachings shared by the congregation. The service featured inspiring musical performances by international singer Rodolfo Vázquez, and included several moments dedicated to heartfelt prayer.

During the dedication service, the importance of spreading the message of salvation to those facing life without hope and serving those in need was highlighted, with an emphasis on sharing God’s divine plan for humanity. The celebration included words of encouragement from the administration, as members were urged to continue their efforts to strengthen and consolidate the new church.

During the worship service, members were challenged to remain committed to evangelistic planning and to embrace new believers warmly. He also recounted the origins of the congregation, noting that in May 2019, the Montero family, led by Abel Montero, took on the challenge of starting a mission group with just eight people. Since then, the church has grown, adding more than 50 members through sustained evangelistic work.
