A Place for Latino Leaders to Find Home
The CBF Latino Network is Familia — a network founded on the principles of fellowship, advocacy, ministry and missions, identity, leadership, intergenerational diversity, and alliances. Familia aims to offer a place for Latino leaders to find a home.
For those involved in the CBF Latino Network, family is fundamental, and Familia of CBF rests on these foundational principles:
F for fellowship — The opportunity to gather together around joys and sorrows
A for advocacy — To defend — there are still many things the Latino community must fight for
M for ministry and missions — It is important for us to unite and work together
I for identity — Why are we Baptist, and what does it mean to be a Cooperative Baptist?
L for leadership — Without our leaders — lay and clergy — we would not accomplish very much
I for intergenerational — We need to understand and appreciate the diversity within the Latino community
A for alliances — We would not be able to do this alone
Vision
We are a network of Latino churches, individuals, and organizations that participate in the expansion of the Kingdom of God for the transformation of our communities.
