Mexico is located in North America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico on the East, and the North Pacific Ocean on the West. It shares a border with the United States as well as Guatemala and Belize. Mexico is the sixth-largest country in the Americas, the thirteenth-largest independent nation in the world in land mass, and the 11th most populous country in the world. The metropolitan area of Mexico City has a population of over 21 million people. 62% of the population is Mestizo, 21% is predominantly Amerindian, 7% is Amerindian, and 10% constitutes of other ethnicities (mostly European).

Before the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized, Mexico was home to many Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Olmec, Mayans, and Aztec. In the Mexican War for Independence in 1821, Mexico gained its independence from Spain and adopted the name that we know today, Mexico. The Mexican-American War established the land boundaries and in 1910 the dictatorship of Mexico was overthrown ushering in its current political system. Today, Mexico is classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank and has the 15th largest nominal GDP. Mexico’s economy thrives on food and beverage industries as well as the production of tobacco. It’s largest industry however is tourism, and in 2016 it was the eighth-most visited country in the world.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.
We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
