The work of the Hispanic Ministry of the Tennessee Conference is guided by the following values/principles:

1.      The Tennessee Conference affirms the different expressions of Hispanic Ministries and includes outreach ministries, faith communities and congregations.

3. The Tennessee Conference affirms a wide spectrum of theological expressions within the Hispanic/Latino community, recognizing that the center is to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and guided by the Great Commandment in Matthew 22:37-39, and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20.

5. The Tennessee Conference recognizes that there is no standard blue print or road map to develop Hispanic ministries.  Therefore, the Conference, through the Academy and the Council on Connectional Ministries, provides and allows space for Hispanic/Latino ministries to emerge, knowing that no two Hispanic ministries will be alike.

4. The Tennessee Conference affirms the ministry of the laity, lay missioners, supply pastors, local pastors, and ordained clergy, all important to be able to reach Hispanic/Latino communities.

2. The Tennessee Conference affirms the call and passion for ministry of Hispanic/Latino persons with all educational and economic backgrounds.
