OUR STORY
At the beginning the COVID-19 pandemic quarantines, when “normal” life in society stopped and uncertainty of the present and the future created panic and fear in communities, a group of Hispanic pastors and leaders gathered for a night of prayer and atonement.
This was the birth of the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance. This first prayer event was inspired by Leviticus 16 in which the Levites had a day of atonement and to ask God for forgiveness of their sins and those of their families before interceding for the nation.
Since that day, with a spirit of unity and purpose, NAHPA formalized with the mission of representing Hispanic Christian church values to government, authorities, and officials on issues relevant to our faith, values, and community at large.
We invite you to join this movement! United as God's people, working as a unified team of pastors, leaders and Christians, we can be a force that will bless the nation! Join NAHPA, we are here to represent you, advocate for your Christian values and serve your Hispanic community.
