As part of the United Methodist people, we joyfully embrace the renewed vision of our Church: to form disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead boldly for the transformation of lives, communities, and the entire world. 

Our committee aims to strengthen our identity and presence in God’s mission. Our work is motivated by a commitment to honor our heritage, recognize the challenges and hopes of our communities, and seek new ways of discipleship and service within our diverse, multicultural environment. 

Our strategic plan focuses on: 

• Leadership: identifying, training, and accompanying pastoral and lay leaders, as well as new generations, to serve with commitment and vision in the Church and in society. 
• Congregational Development: Consolidate and expand Hispanic/Latino ministries, promoting growth initiatives and comprehensive accompaniment to faith communities. 
• Advocacy and immigration: offering spaces for education, solidarity, and action to respond to migratory realities with justice, compassion, and faith. 
• Cultural identity: celebrating our diversity, giving visibility to our voices, and fostering intercultural and intergenerational dialogue that enriches the body of Christ. 

We trust that God calls us to live this mission with hope, creativity, and unity, being a relevant and transformative presence in eastern North Carolina and beyond.
