National Spiritual Council of Haitian Churches (CONASPEH)
Conseil National Spirituel Des Eglises D’haiti

The National Spiritual Council of Haitian Churches (CONASPEH) is a national ecumenical body in Haiti founded in 1986 with the vision of eliminating racial, state, and religious exclusion and of promoting religious, economic, social, moral, and intellectual development across Haitian society. Operating across all ten regions of Haiti, CONASPEH serves as a representative platform for more than 8,000 Protestant churches and commits itself to being the structural, theological, intellectual, and financial support system for its member congregations. Its work encompasses a broad spectrum: educational institutions (including kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, a nursing school, a theological seminary, and a university), vocational training, micro-loan programmes, community health initiatives, disaster recovery, and the rebuilding of church and community infrastructure following catastrophic events such as the 2010 earthquake. CONASPEH has positioned the church as an agent of social transformation—advocating for church-state dialogue, granting rural congregations civic capacities, such as the ability to register vital events, and promoting long-term community resilience. The council’s symbol, an upside-down tree whose roots reach to God and whose fruit is accessible to everyone, reflects its commitment to God-rooted service and inclusive outreach. In the context of Haiti’s repeated shocks—natural disasters, governance crises, economic fragility, and social unrest—CONASPEH remains a vital institutional framework for enabling Haitian Christians to engage their faith in service of justice, reconciliation, and sustainable community development.
Coordinadora Nacional de Iglesias Evangélicas de Haití (CONASPEH)
La Coordinadora Nacional de Iglesias Evangélicas de Haití (CONASPEH) es una organización ecuménica nacional establecida en 1986 con la visión de eliminar las exclusiones racial, estatal y religiosa, así como de promover el desarrollo religioso, económico, social, moral e intelectual en toda la sociedad haitiana. Con presencia activa en las diez regiones del país, CONASPEH representa a más de 8 000 iglesias protestantes y se erige como el soporte estructural, teológico, intelectual y financiero de sus congregaciones afiliadas. Su labor abarca un amplio espectro: instituciones educativas (desde jardines de infancia, escuelas primarias y secundarias, hasta seminario teológico y universidad), capacitación técnica, programas de microcrédito, iniciativas de salud comunitaria, recuperación tras desastres y reconstrucción de infraestructura eclesial y comunitaria tras eventos catastróficos como el terremoto de 2010. CONASPEH ha entendido a la iglesia como agente de transformación social, promoviendo el diálogo iglesia-Estado, facultando a congregaciones rurales para que certifiquen actos vitales y fomentando la resiliencia comunitaria a largo plazo. El símbolo del consejo —un árbol invertido cuyas raíces se dirigen hacia Dios y cuyos frutos son accesibles a todos— refleja su compromiso con un servicio arraigado en Dios y abierto a la comunidad. En un contexto haitiano golpeado por desastres naturales, crisis institucionales, fragilidad económica y conflicto social, CONASPEH sigue siendo un marco institucional vital para que los cristianos haitianos puedan comprometer su fe en pos de la justicia, la reconciliación y un desarrollo comunitario sostenible.
