Olmeca Presbytery

All about our sister Presbytery in Mexico

Our church is fortunate to benefit from the sister presbytery relationship that exists between our own Homestead Presbytery and the Presbytery of Olmeca, which is a part of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico. 
 

As part of that relationship, both presbyteries exchange mission workers to benefit the work of the sister presbytery. Homestead sends educators, and Olmeca sends missionary evangelists.
 

Because of the demographics of the Schuyler community, where nearly 50% of the populations living within the city limits are recently arrived from Central and South America, the needs here are many for a Presbyterian ministry among our newest neighbors.  Both presbyteries have agreed that the Olmeca missionaries should work here and strengthen the ties between our congregation and the numerous Presbyterians and others who are here from such countries as Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, and Colombia, just to name a few.

The Olmeca missionary works to provide evangelistic outreach, worship leadership, opportunities for Christian education, and bi-cultural endeavors, all on behalf of our church. In addition to this, he is also working to provide similar kinds of ministries in Columbus, and is assisting with the continuing Hispanic ministry within the First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk. Upon his return to Mexico this winter, it is anticipated that his work will be continued under the leadership of another missionary worker whom he will first train to build upon the foundations recently begun here.

Fast Facts

From the PCUSA site:  The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has been engaged in mission in Mexico since 1872.

PC(USA) involvement with the Mexican church also includes many presbytery-to-presbytery, seminary-to-seminary, and congregation-to-congregation relationships.
