Nicaragua Partner Churches and Organizations

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) relates to a wide variety of institutions in Nicaragua, the Moravian Church of Nicaragua being the principal denominational partner. Historically the Moravian church has worked mostly on the Atlantic coast among the indigenous and Creole communities. Recently, however, the church has broadened its mission and ministry and has begun to work on Nicaragua's Pacific coast. The Moravian Church is known for its ecumenical commitment and efforts for peace and reconciliation in Nicaragua. Education is one of its highest priorities.

The Council of Evangelical Churches of Nicaragua (CEPAD) is a ministry of evangelical churches working together in development and emergency relief and acting as a voice for the evangelical community. Twenty-eight denominations are voting members of CEPAD. The Council works in 39 communities and is well known and respected throughout the country. PC(USA) mission personnel work on the CEPAD Report, which offers news and analysis of current events in Nicaragua, and in the office of the Nehemiah Program, which helps Christians from around the world visit with Nicaraguan Christians, learn from them, and share their faith journey.
