This document provides guidelines for starting a Hispanic ministry within a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation. It recommends beginning with prayer, learning about Hispanic culture and theology, envisioning opportunities to serve the Hispanic community, networking with existing Hispanic ministries, visiting Hispanic worship services, and partnering with a Hispanic congregation. The guidelines also address issues like facilities use, financial arrangements, membership, and ensuring the new ministry is supported at the regional and general church level. The overall goal is for congregations to better serve the growing Hispanic population through new models of multiethnic, bilingual or multi-site churches.
