CFP Partnership with El Centro Presbytery in Cuba
2026 Cuba Partnership Trip

The next Cuba Partnership trip will be February 17 through 24, 2026. We will fly into Santa Clara and visit Presbyterian churches in El Centro Presbytery.
If your church already has a partnership or relationship with a Cuban church, you’ll be able to strengthen that relationship and encourage your friends and “Cuban family” during this very difficult time for them. It’s a great opportunity to expand your church’s engagement by bringing more people from your congregation. You will spend 5-6 days at the church, worship with them on Sunday, renew friendships, join in their community ministries, and provide much needed supplies for the church and the community. Your donations are a strong witness of the love of Christ - especially for those outside the faith community. If your church is new to our Presbytery’s Cuban Partnership, this is a great way to see it in action, and meet fellow Christians who practice their faith under very different conditions than in the U.S. We will match you with 1 or 2 churches without a Central Florida church partnership. You will spend time at each church getting to know the people through worship, fellowship, and shared ministry. Our primary mission is to build connections between our churches and theirs, to show the Cubans that we care about them and they are not forgotten, and to support them in their community outreach. There is no obligation or requirement to form a formal partnership with a Cuban church (although we hope you will consider it). Cuba Advocacy
A letter to President Biden to remove Cuba
from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism Dear Friends,
On May 9th, the Cuba Partners Network, along with the PC(USA) and 18 other religious denominations and organizations, wrote to President Biden and urged him to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, allowing us all the freedom to engage in our religious activities by offering crucial assistance and aid to the Cuban people, who are suffering dire humanitarian conditions on the island. Please share this letter with elected officials and civic leaders at every level, while also sharing your experiences with your partners as they navigate this difficult time. Tell the people who represent you in Congress that you have already urged President Biden to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, and that you expect them to work to correct this injustice. Also ask for support from local and state officials in this cause. We suggest that you:
We are praying and working hard for an end to the embargo, the removal of Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, and better relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Only tireless effort will help, and thanks be to God that we have an endless supply of faith, hope, and strength. Thanks for taking this step with us! Sincerely, The CPN Advocacy Committee The Cuba Partners Network is proud and excited to announce that Ruling Elder Vilmarie Cintrón-Olivieri and the Rev. José Manuel Capella-Pratts (pictured upper left of Zoom window), aer serving as the PC(USA) Regional Liaisons for the Caribbean! Learn more about them and their ministry.
