Tongan Fellowship
History
On August 16, 1992, Rev. Bob Olmstead, and Sione Motu'ahala
(Representative for the Tongan Fellowship of Reno) agreed to combine
worship services. Eighteen Tongan families joined Reno First and started
what is now known as the First United Methodist Church of Reno Tongan
Fellowship.
Our Walk Together
The two different congregations merge to become one on the last
Sunday of every month. Holy Communion and songs (English and Tongan) are
heard throughout the church. During the other Sundays of the month, we
worship in the evenings so that the non-English speaking islanders can
also benefit from the Word of God.
Sa'ili Peaua has been chosen by the congregation to become the Lay
Leader. Pastor Auer joins the Tongan Fellowship the first Sunday of the
month to celebrate Communion.
The congregation has a total of twenty-six families.
