Our Partnership With Nueva Paz 
Hermanamiento. Partnership. Juntos en Cristo. Together with a small church in Cuba, we’ve formed a partnership of two church families worshiping and walking together for over 15 years. Each year, we endeavor to visit the church in Nueva Paz to live, work and worship with our Presbyterian brothers and sisters.
In accordance with relevant US policy, our team is also actively engaged with the Presbytery of Chicago’s Havana Chicago Partnership and with the PC(USA)-affiliated Cuba Partners Network (CPN), working closely with other congregations and entities engaged in similar partnerships, as well as with the denomination’s Global Ecumenical Liaison for Central America and the Caribbean Basin.
