Our Statement of Faith in Spanish

An update from Rich Richardson, Lead Pastor of Center Church, Gilbert, Arizona; and Emerging Nations Representative to Latin America for Sovereign Grace Churches:

Last fall, after much toil and time, Sovereign Grace unanimously approved a new and vastly improved Statement of Faith. It is a document that will outlive us and be a gift to future pastors and churches of Sovereign Grace Churches. We want this gift to be understood and enjoyed in other parts of the world as well. A significant step in ensuring this gift extends to the Latin American world was completed when we completed the Spanish translation of the Statement of Faith this month. 

Translating our Statement of Faith into Spanish is more than just inputting it into "Google Translate" and getting a result. Instead, our goal was to produce a faithful translation to the original but not carry the tinny sound of just translated English. Therefore, under the leadership of Carlos Contreras, we took the statement through at least four different editing revisions to ensure smooth Spanish readability. Lastly, we contacted someone who is a translator by trade. The result? I am pleased to announce that we have a Spanish version of our Statement of Faith. 

If you are interested in seeing the newly minted translation, you can check it out here.

Now, we have a gift not just to future English-speaking pastors and churches but also to Spanish-speaking pastors and churches.
