The Pentecostal Church of Chile on Maipo Island marked its 70th anniversary on Saturday with a service at the central temple on Avenida Santelices. The event recognized prominent members of the evangelical community and was attended by local authorities, led by Mayor Juan Pablo Olave, and part of the Municipal Council.

During the service, participants recalled the church’s beginnings in the commune. The source credits the late pastor Estelio Reyes, who it says helped build the first temple.

Pastor Israel Aravena said the evening brought together several generations of Pastor Reyes’s family. He also noted the support that municipal authorities have given the church’s work in the commune.

Mayor Olave recognized Jorge Reyes, son of the late founder of the church on Maipo Island. On behalf of the Municipal Council, the mayor also presented a commemorative plaque marking the 70th anniversary.

The celebration continued the following day, Sunday, April 28, with a general service at the St. Louis of Caperana temple, in the area known as the Islite.
