Sobre nosotros
Bienvenidos al Faro. Estamos constituidos en la organización de la Iglesia de Dios Pentecostal desde 1951. Apreciamos nuestras raÃces y hemos construido sobre los cimientos piadosos que se han establecido aquà durante más de 70 años. Lo que comenzó como una escuela de una sola sala y se convirtió en una iglesia de una sola sala ha crecido hasta convertirse en una instalación de varios edificios. El mismo evangelio todavÃa se predica de manera actualizada e innovadora.
​
Somos un grupo de creyentes que queremos compartir el amor de Jesucristo no solo a través de nuestras palabras sino también a través de nuestras acciones y vidas. Aceptamos y creemos que la Biblia es la Palabra literal de Dios, inspirada por el EspÃritu Santo. Predicamos, enseñamos y creemos en el poder de Dios para transformar vidas. No importa quién sea usted o por lo que haya pasado, hay ESPERANZA y le damos la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos. Creemos que cada persona fue creada por Dios con un propósito. La visión del Faro es "Ungido. Enviado para transformar vidas sobrenaturalmente, discipular y amar como familia de Dios". (Lucas 4:18-19).

Meet Our Pastors
Lead Pastors
