Hispanic/Latinx communities in the United States are growing rapidly, yet their ministries within The United Methodist Church remain underfunded and undervalued, writes Rev. Cruz Edwin Santos. In a climate of fear, discrimination, and political hostility, these congregations are emerging as sanctuaries of hope—organizing, leading, and offering prophetic witness. Decolonizing ministry means moving from charity to partnership, from the margins to the center, and affirming Hispanic/Latinx voices as vital to the church’s future. Santos also shares resources for churches to celebrate Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month.

SeaTac Superintendency Team Sub-District assignments announced
At this year’s Annual Conference, SeaTac laity and clergy gathered on Saturday morning to both bid farewell to Rev. Derek Nakano and welcome our three new superintendents: Revs. Shalom Agtarap, Ferdie Llenado, and Elizabeth Ingram Schindler.
Because we are pioneering a new structure of superintendency, the team shared what we know so far. The SeaTac Superintendency Committee (a group that supports the superintendents in their work) invited attendees to write down questions for the new superintendents. We are gathering all the questions that have come in and will be sending those out with answers in a future email.
Finally, the new superintendents shared the list of churches that will be in each of their primary sub-district. There will be some cross-district connection as far as which superintendent will be the primary. Churches and pastors should connect with their primary superintendent first about any questions or concerns. Those sub-districts are listed below.
Thank you for journeying with the SeaTac Superintendent team as they enter this new structure of connectionalism. They are looking forward to working with you!
