This study examines the need for the development of Hispanic congregations in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church. In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on Hispanic ministries in this region which has resulted in the establishment of new local churches. There are six congregations that serve Hispanic families. A common problem affects the growth and development of these churches. The Conference has not provided adequate training for the pastors and lay persons of the congregations. In this study five of these churches engage in a six-session training project aimed at motivating the participants for local mission. Every session begins with a keynote address followed by a question and answer period and three different discussion workshops. Each workshop deals with a specific area of concern: missiology, Christian education, or Christian stewardship. The study provides a missiological framework based on biblical imperatives from the book of Acts. It refers to socio-cultural realities as well as denominational factors in the life of these congregations. The study suggests ways to aid Hispanic ministry.
