We also offer pastoral counseling as well as counseling from a social work perspective for individuals, families, and couples.

• Translation Services. LUCHA Ministries provides translation support as needed for area social service agencies, schools, businesses, and churches.

• Congregational Support. We partner with local churches, both Spanish and English speaking, in their outreach efforts among Latinos as requested.

• Hispanic Heritage Month. From September 15 – October 15, LUCHA Ministries celebrates Latino culture and the contributions Latinos have made to US society.

• Special Seasonal Events. LUCHA Ministries sponsors Advent and Easter events, including a Latino community-wide Christmas party with gift-sharing, piñatas, posadas, and more; and an Easter Egg Hunt party for Latino children and their families.

• Training Seminars. LUCHA Ministries offers Latino cultural awareness conferences for the non-Latino community.

• Latino Youth Ministry. LUCHA Ministries outreach to youth cultivates a “3-D” perspective, encouraging Latino youth to grow in Personal Dignity, Spiritual Dignity, and Latino Cultural Dignity. Through lock-ins, weekly and special activities, studies, and camp participation, youth learn to take pride in who they are, the lands they and their parents come from, and their Christian faith.
