WHAT IS SPANGLISH?
Spanglish is an ongoing bilingual/bicultural youth and young adult ministry that has served effectively for the past ten years using an intentional mentorship model through the Spanglish Design Team.
The Team provides leadership and spiritual growth opportunities for our young people to receive hands-on training and monthly meetings as we prayerfully put together the Spanglish event and other ongoing discipleship and evangelical events throughout the connection, targeting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Hispanic/Latino young people from all over our UMC connection.
VISION
Under the leadership of a team that involves faithful servants of God, that are, laity, clergy, young people, and key UMC Staff, the vision is for Spanglish to become a model that can be duplicated and easily modified throughout the UMC connection to create mature disciples of Christ that will share Jesus with the world!
