Thousands of people who live near our sites speak Spanish as their first language. For many years, our team has worked hard to reach them by translating weekly services and creating Spanish-language pages. But we want to do more. We’re beginning by spreading our unique message en Español across all of our sites—and this is just the beginning. Our goal isn’t simply to have capability, but to continue building and growing a thriving Español community for years to come.
We added technical and volunteer capabilities to enable live teaching translation to all sites. Live services allow our Spanish-speaking friends to connect with the same weekend church rhythms that we all share, providing an opportunity to be united across languages.
Evan Craft collaborated with Crossroads Music to relaunch the song Más Profundo (Take Me Deeper) during a live concert at Crossroads Mason, where more than 1,000 people attended. This was a high-energy event and a great introduction to our region, communicating that Crossoroads is committed to winning with the Spanish-speaking community.
We’ve been busy translating messages across our digital platforms for our new and existing Spanish-speaking members.
Live service translation is now available at Oakley services.
Hundreds of thousands of people who live near our sites speak English as a second language. We’ve always understood our call from God: to reach people with Jesus's message in a language they can understand. For many, that means innovatively translating our unique voice into Spanish so they can, quite literally, understand the message and be part of our community. A team of volunteers has already started this work at our Oakley campus with growing success. The next step is to expand this work across all of our sites and beyond. What would it look like to reach Hispanic families across the USA, who account for 25% of all new births in the country? We will build an official team and dedicate specific resources to continue the hard work of reaching an entirely new demographic ¡Vamos!
