Peru is located along the west coast of South America and is only slightly smaller than the state of Alaska. The third largest country in South America, Peru is divided by the Andes mountains into three regions: the coast, the highlands, and the rainforest. Lima, the capital city of Peru has a population of 9.897 million people. 45% of the population is Amerindian, 37% is mestizo (mixed Amerindian and white), and 15% is white.
Peru was home to the Inca civilization whose empire was conquered by Spanish conquistadors in 1533. Peru declared its independence from the Spanish in 1821, and defeated the remaining Spanish control by 1824. Today, Peru has one of the best economies in Latin America and boasts industries in mining and refining of minerals, fishing, and tourism. Archaeological monuments, beaches, and rainforests consist of the most tourist destinations.

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.
