Can you feel it? The energy, the spirit of Iglesia Palabra Viva. It’s almost tangible here in Chula Vista, California. Iglesia Palabra Viva isn’t just a building. It’s a vibrant hub for the Hispanic community, a place where the Spanish language flows like a river of faith. This church, affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church International, is more than just a Sunday service. It’s a beacon, drawing people in with the promise of connection and spiritual growth. Pastor Robert E. Sandez leads the congregation, his words resonating with the teachings of Acts 2:38. “Conocer a Cristo por Fe, viviendo una vida de Amor, y Sirviendo al mundo con el evangelio de Hechos 2:38.” Know Christ through faith, living a life of love, and serving the world with the gospel of Acts 2:38. These words, etched into the very heart of Iglesia Palabra Viva, guide the congregation in their daily lives. Imagine the joyful music filling the air during services. Picture families gathering, sharing stories, and supporting one another. Iglesia Palabra Viva provides a nurturing environment for children too, with dedicated classes and childcare ensuring that every member of the family feels welcome and included. There’s ample parking, so no need to worry about finding a spot. And if you’re looking to connect deeper, there are bible study groups throughout the week, both in San Diego and music-focused groups. Iglesia Palabra Viva invites you to discover where you belong. Come as you are, and experience the transformative power of faith within this vibrant community.
