On September 7, the Richmond Spanish Company celebrated becoming a Church of the 熟女探花.
This dedicated congregation marks a new chapter in their faith journey. In 2002, a small group of believers set out to form a new congregation led by Thelma Gamboa and Carlos Deras. Inspired by Pastors Juan Acosta and Ra煤l Gonz谩lez, they began their meetings in a member鈥檚 garage.
As a result of steady growth, they made several location changes over the years. One of those stops was meeting at the Richmond Beacon Light Church. David Woolcock, pastor, helped the group apply in 2019 to become a Company as they grew. Woolcock reflected, 鈥淭his congregation is hardworking and passionate about their church and continuing outreach to the Spanish-speaking community. I鈥檓 proud of this milestone they鈥檝e reached.鈥
Paul Guevara, Hispanic Ministry Coordinator, shared, 鈥淚 am inspired by the passion, hard work, and dedication that members of Richmond Spanish have shown. They genuinely connect people to an abundant life in Jesus and prepare them for His soon return.鈥
