Templo Nueva Vida began construction on a new church building in 2019 and finished the project in February 2023. The new building seats up to 200 people; the old building was limited to about 80. The congregation praises God for being debt free. Photo: Jesse Hernandez
For Easter, March 31, Templo Nueva Vida held a joint bilingual service singing simultaneously in Spanish and English. Twice a year, the congregation holds bilingual services. “We have a blast, singing Spanish and English at the same time,” says Pastor Jesse Hernandez. Currently TNV offers a 9 a.m. English service and an 11 a.m. Spanish service on Sunday mornings. Photo: Jesse Hernandez
Every other week, the Templo Neuva Vida congregation serves 50 to 60 families through its food bank. The congregation is comprised of winter Texans, full-time Texans and local community members and does outreach to winter parks and neighboring families. Photo: Jesse Hernandez
