This past weekend NaLEC participated in the second annual convening of the National Initiative to Strengthen Hispanic Pastoral Leaders and Congregations at San Juan, PR. , a collaborative effort of 18 institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico. This initiative is coordinated by @aeth_org and Garret Theological Seminary.
Under the theme “Transformed by Renewal: Discerning Our Faithful Next Steps,” this gathering brought together key partners committed to empowering Latino/a pastoral leaders through leadership development, theological education, and holistic pastoral formation across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Across three days of formation, collaboration, and strategic engagement, we advanced a shared vision focused on strengthening sustainable leadership models, deepening pastoral formation pathways, and expanding the capacity of Latino churches to faithfully respond to present challenges and future opportunities.
This convening reflects both the impact already underway and the long-term trajectory ahead, building stronger ecosystems of mentorship, theological formation, and institutional collaboration that serve the next generation of leaders.
As we move forward, NaLEC remains committed to strengthening communities, scaling leadership development efforts, and contributing to a more resilient and well-equipped Latino pastoral ecosystem.
We are building toward a future marked by formed leaders, healthy congregations, and transformed communities, rooted in faithful renewal and shared leadership model.
