The Embaixadores Church of the Nazarene was officially organized in March of 1997 with 68 charter members. In August of 1998, a huge, well located furniture store, which was going out of business but had not even been put on the market yet, was located as a possible church home for this growing congregation. Almost as if by a miracle, this property has been purchased by the Embaixadores, who presently report 91 members, a membership class of 30, and a typical attendance of more than 200. The building is being remodeled with a sanctuary for 400. The goal is to reach an attendance of 500. Fortunately, there is space for many classes, offices, children's church, youth activities, and perhaps even a gymnasium. This can become a community center for outreach to thousands of Portuguese speaking people in this area. Truly, we are involved in the FULL CYCLE OF NAZARENE MISSIONS! |
