Congregational Christian Churches of Mexico

Iglesias Cristianas Congregacionales de México

The Junta General de Iglesias Cristianas Congregacionales de México is a national association of Congregational Christian Churches in Mexico that supports local congregations in mission, pastoral leadership, and community service. Operating within the tradition of congregational autonomy, the JGICCM offers a network through which individual churches share resources, engage in theological formation, participate in national assemblies, and coordinate joint initiatives. Over the years, the body has navigated the complexities of registering associations under Mexican law, facilitating legal recognition for member churches, and promoting the witness of churches in urban, rural and indigenous contexts. Central to its identity is the commitment to express the gospel in culturally-relevant ways—training lay leaders, youth, and women in discipleship, and encouraging local mission among underserved populations. As part of its cooperative life, the JGICCM engages in ecumenical dialogues, social action efforts, and partnerships with international mission organisations. By enabling smaller Congregational churches to connect with broader networks and legal frameworks, the association strengthens local ministry while maintaining the grassroots character of congregationalism. Through its assemblies, leadership trainings, and collective vision, the Junta General continues to contribute to the vitality of the Congregational Christian witness across Mexico.

La Junta General de Iglesias Cristianas Congregacionales de Méxicol

La Junta General de Iglesias Cristianas Congregacionales de México es una asociación nacional de iglesias congregacionales cristianas que apoya a congregaciones locales en su misión, liderazgo pastoral y servicio comunitario. Operando dentro de la tradición de la autonomía congregacional, la JGICCM ofrece una red mediante la cual iglesias individuales comparten recursos, participan en formación teológica, asisten a asambleas nacionales y coordinan iniciativas conjuntas. A lo largo de los años, la organización ha afrontado los retos de la legislación mexicana en materia de registro de asociaciones, facilitando el reconocimiento legal de iglesias afiliadas, y promoviendo el testimonio de las congregaciones en contextos urbanos, rurales e indígenas. Su identidad central radica en el compromiso de expresar el evangelio de manera contextualizada: formando líderes laicos, jóvenes y mujeres en el discipulado, e incentivando la misión local entre poblaciones vulnerables. Como parte de su vida cooperativa, la JGICCM participa en diálogos ecuménicos, esfuerzos de acción social y alianzas con organizaciones misioneras internacionales. Al permitir que iglesias congregacionales más pequeñas se conecten con redes más amplias y con marcos jurídicos adecuados, la asociación fortalece el ministerio local manteniendo el carácter de base de la congregacionalidad. A través de sus asambleas, formaciones de liderazgo y visión colectiva, la Junta General sigue contribuyendo a la vitalidad del testimonio congregacional cristiano en todo México.
