Who We Are

We are a community that has grown by the grace of God and lives with the clear purpose of knowing Christ and making Him known. We are united by faith, friendship, and the conviction that God transforms lives, families, and cities.

Our story began in a simple way, around a table, with a small group of friends eager to know God, study His Word, and pray together.

 

What started as an intimate time of seeking slowly began to grow, drawing in families and friends who were also longing for a real encounter with Jesus.

 

In 2017, that desire became official with the founding of Amistad McAllen under the covering of Amistad de Monterrey. Later, in April 2024, God led us to expand His work even further when Church of the Living Word came under the pastoral covering of Toño and Judy De Lizardi, giving birth to Amistad Weslaco.

Our Vision

To know Christ and make Him known through His Word, His Spirit, and the friendship we share as a spiritual family.

To build families firmly grounded in the Word of God, who live out and reflect the Kingdom of Heaven in every area of their daily lives. We are transformed by Him to go and transform the world around us.

Campuses

Amistad RGV has two campuses: Weslaco and McAllen. At both locations, our community gathers with one heart and purpose: to know Jesus and make Him known. Each campus offers services, Bible studies, and weekly activities designed to strengthen faith, build community, and live out the Kingdom of God in everyday life.

Be part of our family

We believe every person has a unique calling and gifts that can build up the Church and bless others. Whether you want to serve in a ministry, join a group, or simply take the next step in your walk with God—there’s a place for you here!
