About Us
Our History
Founded in 1998, Iglesia Cristiana Shalom has been a beacon of hope and a place of peace in Laredo. Our journey began with a small group of believers dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus, and we have grown into a vibrant community that welcomes everyone with open arms. Our mission is to guide people into a life-transforming relationship with Christ.
Shalom? What does it mean?
Shalom is a Hebrew word that means "peace." Among Jewish people, it is used as a greeting. We desire with all our hearts that in our Church you can find that peace that only God can give. And so, as the new people of God, we greet you, "Shalom!" and we wish you Shalom in your home. Amen!
