Partnership with
Christ and one another…
Compañeros en Ministerio/Partners in Ministry began when the
Bella Vista congregation of Los Angeles, California and the Stone
congregation of Buena Vista, Virginia felt a desire to fulfill the
Biblical call to be "One in Christ Jesus". The two congregations,
Bella Vista which was primarily Hispanic, and Buena Vista, which was
primarily Euro-American, had little in common from the world's
perspective. However, as they began to worship together, work
together on projects to benefit people of the Mexican culture, and
share their lives with one another, they found common devotion to
Christ, and the blessing of unity!
Compañeros en
Ministerio/Partners in Ministry is affiliated with the church of the
Brethren, Endorsed by the churches of God General Conference and
Evangelical Foursquare Gospel church of Mexico, a partnering agency
with Church World Service, Tress for Life, and the Brethren
Church. Individual congregations from the Missionary Church
and Church of God in Christ are active participants.
