Local Spanish speaking Iglesia de Cristo at Locust and Eighth St
An older La iglesia de Cristo congregation of about 35 members meets Sundays for Bible school worship and a Sunday night service with a Wednesday Bible class. Lay preacher Augustine Fuentes says the church rejects music and women in the pulpit and bases faith on the Bible alone. He emphasizes scriptural study to know God and rejects miracles and speaking in tongues. Fuentes cites passages from John II Timothy Galatians Revelation to argue the Bible is the only path to salvation. He urges readers to seek God in the Bible and warns against adding to or taking away from scriptures.
