Ministries Overseen by Faith URC

Ministerio Cristiano: El Pacto de Gracia

This is a gospel ministry in the Spanish language located in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Rev. Valentín Alpuche, a Christian from Campeche, Mexico, was sponsored by Faith URC to come to the United States for seminary study in 2004. Upon graduation from Mid-America Reformed Seminary, he was called and ordained to a Spanish language ministry. A Joint Venture Committee, formed of various United Reformed Churches in the area, was also established to assist in this work. Rev. Alpuche conducts a Sunday evening Bible study and catechism lesson, leads other catechism classes and Bible studies during the week, teaches English classes, engages in local evangelism, volunteers as an interpreter at St. James Hospital, and translates Reformed works into Spanish (visit www.reformedliterature.com/es ). The ministry center is located at 1527 Otto Boulevard, Chicago Heights, 60411. For more information please contact Pastor Alpuche by phone (219-577-5881) or email: valentin1975@hotmail.com
