RMCNews – New Castle, Colorado … The Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) recognized the formation of the Welcome Home Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist Company, April12, in New Castle, Colorado.
Thirty members of the new company were in attendance at the ceremony and another 30 people attended in support. Doug Inglish, RMC vice president for administration, presided over the ceremony and was joined by Darin Gottfried, RMC vice president for Finance, and Leonardo Jimenez, lead pastor of the Denver Central Hispanic, Colorado Springs Hispanic, and Nueva Esperanza Seventh-day Adventist Churches.
To be considered for company status within the Conference, a group must have existed for at least one year following written recognition by RMC administration and must demonstrate a distinct missional need or demographic focus.
Applications require a statement of purpose, leadership structure, growth strategy, financial viability, and consistent attendance records. Final approval is granted by the RMC Executive Committee, after which newly formed companies are responsible for their own finances.
“We are pleased to have the Welcome Home Hispanic Company join the list of congregations in the Rocky Mountain Conference,” remarked Inglish. “This is a testament to the Holy Spirit to bring together the followers of Jesus Christ to continue our mission and spread the Gospel.”
