Beloved People of God,

We want to take this opportunity to tell you that we love you very much and wish to take the best precautious measures for all RENACER families.

In response to the events that are occurring, the government has established that any gathering of more than 500 people will not be allowed in public places including churches.

We believe in an almighty God who is faithful and protective, yet we must be wise and cautious. We value the health and care of each and every one of you. Therefore, we want to inform you that in our next services we will do the following:

If you are in good health join us at our services at our Freeport campus, 475 N. Brookside Ave. 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

If you fall into one of these four categories join us online:

If you are sick.
If you or any of your children have been in contact with people infected with the virus at school or elsewhere.
If you live in a town where there are infected people.
Everyone who knows they have low immune systems please stay home.

There will be no Childcare – We encourage all families with children to make arrangements so that both parents can be ministered in one of our services.

There will be no Children’s service

There will be no Youth service

Bible School is canceled until further notice. We will inform you of any necessary changes.

Please:

Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds often.

Protect your family as best you can, especially children and the elderly or recovering.

We ask that we be united in praying for all of God’s people and for all of humanity.

Let us strive to maintain the best personal relationship with God and be mature and prudent.

Let us not be afraid, we are under divine protection.

Psalm 91: 1,5,6,7

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

Psalm 23: 1,4

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

In the love of Christ,

Pastors Carlos and Marylu Sorto

Senior Pastors of Centro Cristiano Renacer

SENIOR PASTORS

Pastor Carlos and Marylu Sorto reside in Long Island, NY. In September 17th, 1983 Pastor Carlos Sorto married his childhood sweetheart Marylu, with whom he has been married for 36 years.

Since Pastor Carlos was ordained a Minister in 1985, together with his wife have served the Lord by visiting jails and hospitals, bringing comfort, hope and strength to prisoners and sick people with the Word of God.

In February 1991, Pastors Carlos and Marylu Sorto founded the ministry “Centro Cristiano Renacer, Inc.” Where they have served God and our community for 28 years, and have seen the support and faithfulness of God prospering in His ministry.

God has blessed Pastors Sorto with three beautiful children, Damaris, Joanna and Jeremiah, who have grown up in the church where they have been instructed in the divine values. In September 2011, their oldest daughter married David Magaña and in September 2016 God blessed them with their first daughter, Ariana Pearl Magana and in January 2018 He blessed them again with their son Jesse Daniel Magana. They have demonstrated by their example what it means to be a family that loves and serves God.

BIBLE SCHOOL OF SERVANTS

Our Bible School of Servants is a two year process that prepares and equips students to fulfill their God given purpose in their lives.

We provide a balance of theory (Bible based knowledge) and practice (Character based principles)

Our Bible School of Servants is structured as follows:

Post Encounter
- We encourage every person that goes to an Encounter to take this class. In Post Encounter the student is shown the path to become a firm Christian. It includes lessons on who Jesus is, our relationship with Him, the Bible, Prayer, the church and more.

First Level
- This class is centered on family roles and values, which is the most important thing for Christian living. Through this class we find out how to assume our responsibility to be the best family member as well as learn how to help others reach their full potential.

Second Level
- This class demonstrates how important it is for every believer to have Spiritual Vision in their lives. The students have the opportunity to learn the tools that will help them succeed in catching the Vision of the ministry.

Third Level
- The main focus of this class is the importance of the relationship with the Holy Spirit. Within this class the student will discover how to develop and maintain a personal relationship, by learning the fruits and gifts of the Spirit.

Fourth Level
- In the last level of Bible School we will target character development, the importance of accountability, and the traits of servant hood.

PROPHETIC MINISTRY

Our Prophetic Ministry is about discovering identity, destiny and purpose. We are committed to teaching, equipping, and activating believers in prophetic ministry in the local church.

As part of our mission we provide the following workshops:

Ministering Spiritual Gifts (MSG)
- The goal of MSG is to teach, train, activate, mentor, and mature the believers in the spiritual gifts.

School of the Holy Spirit
- Its purpose is not only to share vital scriptural teachings concerning the gifts of the Spirit, but to advance God’s people out of the realm of theory and bring them into a living experiential reality of hearing God’s voice.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

DECLARATION OF FAITH

We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament as the inspired word of God, and that they are the final supreme authority of faith and life.

(2ª Ti. 3:16-17, 1ª Co. 2:13)

We believe in a God that exists eternally as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

(Dt. 6:4, Mt. 28:19, 1ª Jn. 5:7-8, 2ª Co. 13:14)

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born to a virgin named Mary and that He is God and man.

(Is. 7:14, 9: 6, Lk. 1:26-35, Jn. 1:14)

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and therefore incurred spiritual death which is separation from God. That all humans are born sinners by nature and that they are morally responsible before God and man for their thoughts, words and sinful action.

(Gn. 1:27, 2:16-17, 3:6, 24, Ro. 3:23, Rv. 20:12)

We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a sacrifice and substitute, and everyone that believes in Him, is cleansed of sin by His blood and is justified through his resurrection.

(Ro 4:25, Col. 2:14-15, Rv. 1:5)

We believe in the physical resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ; His ascension to heaven and His eternal life in heaven as a supreme priest and intercessor.

(Ro. 8:34, 1ª Co. 15:20)

We believe in the blessed and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

(Jn. 14:2-3, 1ª Ths. 4:13-18, Acts 1:10-11)

We believe that everyone who receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith is born again through his divine word inspired by the Holy Spirit, in which they become children of God.

(Jn. 1:12-13, 3:3, 1ª Pe. 1:23)

We believe in the corporal resurrection of the just and unjust, the eternal blessing of the ones that are saved and the eternal punishment of the ones that are lost.

(Jn. 5:24, 28, 29, Rv. 20:11-15)

We believe that baptism is by submersion, as a symbolic act of our death, burial and resurrection with our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Mt. 28:19, 3:6, Ro. 6:1-10)

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking other tongues.

(Acts 1:5, 2:1-33, 39, 10:44-46, 19:6)

We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and in the five ministries instituted by God for the Church.

(1ª Co. chapter 12-13, Ef. 4:11-16)

We believe and practice two ordinances:
1. Baptism as an act of obedience, it does not give grace or salvation.
2. The Holy Supper as a fellowship with the believers to commemorate the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ until he returns.
