Innovative Ministry Initiatives

Pastor Beltré has been developing a new hospitality program called the R.O.C.K. Plan. This is a hospitality ministry strategy tailored to building relationships with first-time visitors to the church. Built on the premise that our society has transitioned from a fact-based culture to a relationship culture, the ROCK initiative has created a new and creative opportunity to connect in a more intentional way with church visitors. By creating a welcoming and relationship nurturing experience for guests, the revolving door of guests who never come back can finally come to a holt.

His vision for the Church as a relationship-oriented and Christ-centered  place is forward thinking, and resonates deeply with the new generation of believers.
