Partnership with accountability
Spiritual oversight is provided through an informal group of pastors connected with Acts 29; this is not an official Acts 29 coalition or endorsement. Advance Mission provides financial oversight. Once the church and SÓLIDA are legally established, the intention is for them to receive donations directly.
We propose quarterly ministry and financial updates for partners. Give online through Advance Mission. Select Guatemala in the fund menu to support this work. The final legal arrangements are still being developed.
TAKE THE NEXT STEPChurch-to-church partnership starts with a conversation.
FROM OUR TABLE TO YOURS
Could your church
walk with ours?
We would love to hear about your church, answer your questions, and explore whether God may be leading us to serve together.
PARTNERSHIP QUESTIONSA few things you may be wondering.
Let’s make the
next step clear.
We welcome honest questions about our convictions, the work, and how your partnership makes a difference.
Is Iglesia La Roca already an established church?
We are a church plant in the core-team and discipleship stage. Our team meets weekly, and an open Bible study is already gathering in San Pedro. We are working toward a constituted, elder-governed congregation.
What does SÓLIDA do?
SÓLIDA creates and translates Christ-centered teaching resources as an expression of the church’s ministry. Our first language focus is the Tz’utujil of Santiago Atitlán. ROCCA is the audio player being developed to help people listen to those resources.
How can I give, and who oversees the finances?
Advance Mission provides financial oversight. You can give through Advance Mission’s online portal. Select Guatemala, rather than General, in the fund menu. Contact the team for documentation relevant to your support. The proposed first-year budget is available above, including the distinction between recurring support and setup costs.
Give through Advance Mission · Review the funding planCan our church meet the team?
Yes. We welcome conversations with pastors, missions teams, and potential partners, including possible presentations during our U.S. church visits.
Contact the teamCan I explore an internship or a season of service?
We would love to talk about your interests, your home church, and your availability. Any opportunity would be worked out together around the needs and capacity of the planting team.
Ask about an internshipWhere can I read your beliefs and the local context?
Our convictions page explains the vision, mission, ministry approach, and statement of faith. The Lake Atitlán page offers local context, research sources, and the pastoral concerns shaping this work.
