The Holy Spirit, the eternal immigrant of God's Kingdom among us, speaks all languages, lives in all countries and reunites all races. He urged the Presbytery to act in constructive ways to destroy the walls that separate people, as Martin Luther King Jr. taught. I have a dream that our Presbytery will take the presence of the minority churches seriously and will carry out this spirit of hospitality. As Martin Luther King showed, dreams are rooted in the heart of God and can change the world, breaking down the walls of hostility. Canto de Esperanza is a church of prayer and service, a contemporary church that also cultivates traditions.
Mission is very important to the church.
They sponsor a food pantry, allocate funds for persons going through difficult times, and visit shelters, prisons, homes, hospitals and refugee centers. Foreign missions include Venezuela, Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras and Kosovo. They have a sister relationship with a congregation in Cuba's Havana Presbytery. The church has increased its Basic Mission Support and has members serving different units of the Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly. Canto currently uses space at Berwyn First and dreams of building its own church home.
