Introduction
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada has been involved in Hispanic Ministries for over one hundred years.In the late 19th century (1897-1899) our Church reached out to Hispanics in Northern Mexico, Texas, and Puerto Rico.

The Obra Hispana
It also fostered the development of Hispanic and Bilingual congregations in the United States.During the first part of the 20th century, our Hispanic congregations were concentrated in Texas.Toward the middle of the century, we organized Hispanic Churches in the Northeast.

Hispanic Conventions
From the beginning, our Hispanic congregations formed Hispanic Conventions that provided both fellowship and opportunities to develop joint projects.The first convention, the State Mexican S.S. Convention, was established around 1915.

Restructure and RenewalDuring the late 1980’s the National Hispanic and Bilingual fellowship explored several ways of restructuring the Office of Services for Program and Services for Hispanic and Bilingual Congregations.This resulted in the creation of the Central Pastoral Office for Hispanic Ministries (CPOHM) in 1991.

What is the CPOHM?
The CPOHM is a general organization of the CCDC. As such, it responds directly to the General Board of the Church and it is supported by Disciples Mission Fund.It is also supported by direct contributions from individuals, local congregations, regions and other organizations.

The life of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is blessed by the racial/ethnic ministries of the National Convocation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the National Hispanic and Bilingual Fellowship, the North American Pacific Asian Disciples, and other groups that may be recognized by the General Assembly. Where general ministries are called upon to serve the life of the church through reports and representation, these ministries shall be included.

Growth, Growth, GrowthWe need more leaders because the Hispanic community in the US is growing at a fast pace.According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 31.7 million Hispanics living in the nation (11.7% of the population).These numbers do not include the 3.88 million Hispanics living in Puerto Rico.

Church GrowthThe “Obra Hispana” among Disciples is also growing at a fast pace.We have about 178 established and developing congregations in different parts of the US.There are also Hispanic congregations in Canada. One of them is bilingual, worshiping in Spanish and French.

Multicultural Ministries
At some point in time, every Disciple minister will have to interact with Hispanic people and with Hispanic Disciples.You may prepare yourself for such encounters by learning more about the Hispanic community, and about Hispanic theology.
