“A growing number of Latino immigrants in the Charlotte region are abandoning their Catholic roots and seeking new religions.

Their quest to fulfill their spiritual needs isn’t lost on a collection of churches eager to recruit them.

With more than 40 million Latinos living in the U.S., and hundreds of thousands arriving every year, it’s only natural that churches vie for their attention. The Southern Baptist Convention, for example, wants to recruit 50,000 Hispanics in the next five years, and build 250 new churches each year.”
