Why Cebuano
Welcoming Cebuano speakers
Cebuano is a beloved language of the central and southern Philippines, spoken warmly in homes, markets, and gatherings across the islands. Many Cebuano speakers carry a deep and joyful faith, and worshiping in their own language lets that joy flow freely. Welcoming them in Cebuano honors who they are and invites them to belong fully.
Reaching out to Cebuano speakers in their mother tongue builds genuine belonging and shows Filipino visitors and families that there is a place for them here.
