Mita Congregation

The Mita Congregation is a Christian congregation based in Puerto Rico. The congregation has chapters in the United States, Canada, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico El Salvador, Spain, and in the Dominican Republic. The Congregation is headquartered at its Temple at 203 Duarte Street, Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

The Mita believe that a woman named Mita, born Juanita García Peraza, was chosen by God like all the prophets were chosen in earth and she became the body, the living incarnation of the Holy Spirit in its third manifestation. First as the omnipotent father in Jehovah then in his beloved son Jesus Christ and in its third manifestation with a new name revealed Mita, name of the holy spirit of God. According to their beliefs, the Holy Spirit once acted through Mita and anointed Teófilo Vargas Seín (born on October 23, 1921) as the first prophet of God in what they call the new manifestation of God, the third manifestation, the Holy Trinity, The father, son and the Holy Spirit. Teófilo Vargas was renamed Aarón and before the date when Juanita García Peraza died in 1970, she called Aarón and by the words of the Holy Spirit of God thru her mouth told him to take care of his church and is today the spiritual leader of the Mita's Congregation. The congregation was formed in Arecibo in 1940, but in 1947 the church was relocated to Hato Rey, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Doctrine

The doctrine of the church is based on the original Reina-Valera Spanish translation of the Bible. They are trinitarian, believing in Jehovah, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who they believe "is on earth, that His new name is Mita and that, through Aarón, He guide His Church and guides it through truth and justice towards salvation."[1] Aarón is considered God's prophet for today, and through him God's message of cleansing, freedom from sin, and unity is brought to the world.
