Faith carried across the world
The Philippines is overwhelmingly Christian, and Filipinos are one of the most widely scattered peoples on earth, serving in nearly every country. They have carried their faith with them. In the Gulf, across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, Filipino Catholic communities, chaplaincies, and Protestant and evangelical congregations gather to worship, often in Tagalog as well as English, and to keep beloved traditions such as the pre-dawn Simbang Gabi Masses before Christmas.
For many Filipinos far from home, the church is family. You will find a warm welcome there.

The living story behind the Filipino church:
Meet Jesus in your language
The Gospel has never belonged to one nation or one tongue. From the first day the Spirit came, people heard the wonderful works of God each in their own language, and that is still the heart of the church. Wherever you are, and whatever words you pray in, Jesus draws near.
More languages are opening over time. If your language is not here yet, the Gospel of John and an honest prayer in your own words are a good place to begin.
