About VECINOS
who we are & what we do
The mission of Vecinos is to love the Spanish-speaking community of the Auburn-Opelika area as Jesus leads. The Spanish-speaking community of the Auburn-Opelika area is largely overlooked and unengaged by the larger populace, which neglects them as our neighbor. As we recognize the Spanish-speaking community of our local area as our true neighbors, we strive to treat them as such. Practically, this ministry serves a certain neighborhood in the Auburn area. Twice a week we meet with these children, play, and share the Gospel. At Vecinos, we begin all approaches by forming relationships with individual living in Spanish-speaking communities around the area.
