Remember the year 2009. Centro Cristiano Vida’s story begins. Moved by spiritual needs in San Isidro a group gathered in a Martínez home.
They sought to discuss current issues through a Christian lens. This group sparked an idea. They wanted to host open talks for the community about topics of general interest.
The first talk happened in 2011. It was held in a hall near the Martínez station. By May 2012 monthly talks began. These were at the Automóvil Club de San Isidro. The public embraced these talks.
The group grew quickly. In September 2012 the talks moved. They found a new location at Don Bosco 999 in San Isidro. The need to learn more about God increased. This led to Wednesday study meetings at Don Bosco 999.
That place became Centro Cristiano Vida’s meeting spot. Now fast forward. Centro Cristiano Vida has clear aims. They help people meet Jesus. They inspire total commitment to Him. They encourage spreading the gospel through life.
