Pew Research Center : 15% of Latinos in the U.S identify as evangelical Protestants .

Latino evangelicals are an influential voting bloc.

Some are torn between their conservative views on social issues such as abortion and immigration.

Latinos generally favor Democratic candidates, but a majority of Latino evangelicals backed Donald Trump in 2020 .

The Rev. Jacqueline Tavarez : "Our community doesn't care about the politics" She says her diverse congregation cares more about the values a political party represents rather than the face or the voice of the party.

Political engagement happens more organically in Latino evangelical congregations, she says.
