Christian Church Disciples of Christ in Paraguay
Iglesia Cristiana Discípulos de Cristo en Paraguay
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Paraguay is a dynamic Protestant denomination with congregations across the country, including Asunción, Coronel Oviedo, Arroyos y Esteros, Caacupé, and Ciudad del Este. Grounded in a theology centered on Christian unity, mutual service, and the authority of Scripture, the church celebrates the Lord’s Supper every week as a way of reaffirming its commitment to the redemptive work of Christ. Its mission emphasizes proclaiming the Gospel, serving human needs, strengthening family life, and building healthy communities. Education is one of its strongest pillars; the church maintains preschool programs in several congregations and supports a Christian formation center, the Jack Norment Camp, near Caacupé. The denomination’s history in Paraguay stretches back more than a century, beginning with the founding of the Colegio Internacional in 1920, which remains a cornerstone for Christian education and leadership development. Recently, one of its historic congregations—located in Barrio Pinozá—celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of faithful service, community engagement, and spiritual growth among vulnerable populations.
