Expect VBS weeks, sports outreach at local parks, and community events that spill onto Plant Street and the West Orange Trail.

Multicultural and Spanish-Language Churches

Reflecting the area’s growth and diversity, these congregations offer bilingual services—often in Spanish or Portuguese—and integrate Latin American worship styles.

Featuring contemporary worship bands and practical teaching, these churches often meet in schools or flexible spaces near SR-429, Hamlin Town Center, and the Avalon Road corridor.

#LovePeopleTruthMatters
“when we think of our Muslim friends or our Mormon friends or our Jehovah's Witness friends or our fill in the blank, any other religion that has Jesus involved, when we think about Joshua Harris and Rob Bell, what should we be doing with those folks? We should reject them. Never speak to them. Good. I'm glad you're laughing because if you're not, you should. No. Man, we should be praying for them. We should be caring for them. We should be kind and gracious, not with an agenda, but because we love them. We should engage in their lives. We should not hate them or reject them or see them as our enemy. But what they teach, we should see as anti Christ. And we should be vigilant deeply and not allow ourselves to begin to slowly buy in because of our love for people. Let's all get along as it relates to Jesus. It's so close. It's not. And why does that matter? Because if you have the wrong Jesus, you are not alive, but dead. So having the right Jesus matters. And if we care about anyone who doesn't have the right Jesus, what should we want for them? That they would meet the right Jesus, which means you and I better be grounded in the right Jesus.”

“``Got troubles? Pray Psalm 86. Tell Jesus how you feel. Ask him to help you and keep asking all day long if that's what it takes because he is listening and will answer. And as you're praying, remember what he's done in the past, in the bible, in history, and in your own life and ask him and yourself if there's anything you need to learn from this mess and then thank him. Thank him for what he's done in the past, what he's doing now, and what he's gonna do to get you out or at least through your mess because he will.”
37s
“Jesus Christ was crucified. He was sacrificed like a lamb And he replaced in that one act the entire sacrificial system. And for the Hebrew hearers to get spiritually apathetic and lazy and stop looking to Jesus and start going back into their old religious routines was heresy. It was It was it was antichrist. It was turning away from Christ. Rather, the author is is telling them to turn to Jesus. And might I say, to keep turning, keep transitioning. Your old ways die hard.”

#TheyNeverBelonged
“No. I mean, it's a real thing. Isn't it? And and John's saying, that's not how this worked. Look to look at the look at the tenses he uses in this. He says, they were never actually part. Though they came from within, they actually never belonged. And how do we know that they were not actually belonging? Because they went down this path. So what he's not doing here is saying, we'll get to that in a second. You better be vigilant because if you go down that path, it's over for you. What he's saying is, since you belong to God, don't be stupid. And do a thing that will cause you to not have the flourishing life here and now, you already know they didn't know. They had an idea. They were looking at it, but they decided after looking at it all, nah. That's not the Jesus I think is most fill in the blank. Easy, comfortable, whatever. Add this, subtract that, change that. So they When did they believe in Jesus? What he's saying is they didn't.”

#JesusOrNothing
“As much as that person thought they were talking to Brooke. As much as that person coming to me wholeheartedly is certain they met my wife. If she's not my wife, she's not my wife. You know I'm saying? Once you've described some things and you go past a certain point, I'm like, yep. Not not not Brooke. And, there's no version in which I would say this. Well, since you got most of it right, let's just say it's Brooke. In fact, in fact, I think it might have been Brooke. I mean, you just said isn't Brooke, but it's close enough. And then we do this with Jesus, don't we? What we do with Jesus is that if it's close enough, if enough of the things are shared and said, if enough of the stuff is the same, then we feel bad saying, well, who am I to say that that's not at least close enough? And what John's saying is there is no close enough. It's either Jesus or it's not.”
41s
#GraceNotPerformance
“because what John is doing here while he's laying out this journey for us as followers of Jesus to be faithful in trusting and obeying Jesus. He also wants to be constantly careful not to suggest to us this horrid foundation that says, you better stay faithful to Jesus. Otherwise, you're gonna lose your salvation, lose your belonging to him, lose everything. Right? Because we've said this many times. If that's the gospel and that's an anti gospel, it means God is dependent on my faithfulness in order to show himself faithful. You with me?”
61s
#RejectFalseTeaching
“There were people in the church leaders who were teachers that had changed who Jesus was. They didn't believe in the resurrection for example. That was one change. There were other changes. They started shaping Jesus to be someone he's not, so that they could either have wonderful, teaching that people would be enamored by. Remember? It was like they teach all these myths and wonders because it tickles people's ears. I know stuff about Jesus that you don't know. Or they wanted to fit into the culture they were, more, amiably because the cult culture was hostile. And and and what did Paul say? Timothy, have nothing to do with those false teachings. Stand vigilantly. Draw lines in the sand. Who Jesus is matters more than anything else. And if that goes awry, everything goes awry. And so what did Timothy do?”
56s
#ProtectTheGospel
“He led the church well. They held fast. And now, over the twenty years, people within the church left because of their disagreement with Gospel theology. Did you note that I just said they? They didn't disagree with like the loudness of the music or that way they dressed. There's good reasons sometimes to say, this is not my thing. Doesn't make people anti Christ when they leave a church because of not Gospel theology. You with me? But when you change your gospel theology or your understanding of who Jesus is, and therefore you leave the place that holds to the gospel and who Jesus is, that is what he's describing here as those who have left. They were once with us and they are now anti Christ because they're teaching and living following a different Jesus.”
49s
#WakeUpNow
“So now you and I ought to be like, what? I'm surrounded by antichrist. Right? I'm just saying we we we should we should catch the urgency by which John is elevating our present reality to the same importance as it would be if we were literally in some end time and the anti Christ was here and we were battling against that reality. A world order that's gonna form and steal our minds. You know how that feels that urgency. Right? And he's saying when should we feel that urgency? Right here. Why? Because what's with us right now? Many antichrists. So look what he says.”
48s
#WatchForSubtleShifts
“Did you catch all of that? And the reason this is important is because it is easy often or at least easier to look at a philosophy of the world and how it opposes the things of God and you kind of just know I'm choosing that because I want to. Right? But it's more complex, isn't it? When someone's preaching Jesus, talking Jesus, living Jesus, but the subtleties in what they're saying have changed Jesus. And you need to be vigilant and watchful over that is what he's saying because that category is anti Christ, and we should be right back with, we should all be very much vigilant of that, shouldn't we? Now watch what he does here. Look at this.”
