The Local Congregation of Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, in the district of its namesake, was established on May 15, 1935, making it one of the pioneering local congregations in Pangasinan province of the Philippines. To commemorate its 90th anniversary, an INConcert was held at the Urdaneta City Cultural and Sports Center on May 30, 2025.

During the event, a video presentation about the congregation’s history was shown to the attendees. It was followed by a performance of brethren from all ages giving their rendition of Iglesia Ni Cristo original music, some of which were Kahit Ako ay Bata (Even If I’m Still A Child), Ganyan Tayo sa Loob ng Iglesia Ni Cristo (That’s How We Are Inside The Church Of Christ), Katuparan (Fulfillment), and Sa Iyo, Ama, ang Lahat ng Kapurihan (To You, Father, We Offer All The Glory).

“The Lord God expressed His love for our congregation. That I remembered and highlighted as I was singing,” said Society for Communicators and Networkers (SCAN) International member Merlito Banag. “For the many years that have passed, I truly believe that He is the One Who gives all the victories to our congregation,” he further said.

“The brethren’s zeal to always prioritize serving God is remarkable. They take to heart the call of the Church Administration to always do what pleases the Lord God, even teaching such trait to the younger generations,” attested resident minister Brother Jef Macaspac. On their behalf, he added, “We will continue on serving Him for the years to come.” — With assistance from April May Lopez
