MCI Santiago

What MCI Santiago does

MCI Santiago (legal name Misión Carismática Internacional Chile; RUT 65.646.170-5) is a Christian church and registered nonprofit founded in 2004 and headquartered in Santiago, Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile. Its core product is the "Reuniones Familiares" (Family Meetings), weekly Sunday worship services held at 10:00, 12:30, and 17:00, designed around a parallel-programming model where adults attend the main service while children participate in MCI Kids and teenagers in MCI Teens, enabling the entire household to attend simultaneously. The organization also operates a new-believer registration and integration flow ("Bienvenida"), cell groups referenced through the "Ofrenda Célula" donation designation, and a dedicated events platform at eventosg12.cl.

The church does not charge for services. All revenue is generated through voluntary donations — tithes (diezmo), pledges (pacto), offerings (ofrenda), and cell offerings (ofrenda célula) — accepted via Webpay (debit/credit), PayPal (USD, international), bank transfer to a central Banco de Chile account, and cash deposits at Multicaja or Servipag retail locations. A separate bank-account structure exists for regional congregations in Talca, Constitución, and Viña del Mar, indicating operations beyond the Santiago main site. The current strategic priority, per the "Ofrenda Histórica" campaign, is capital-raising to acquire a larger facility capable of serving thousands. Staffing is lean at 6 employees, with the bulk of ministry operations presumably carried out by volunteer leaders and cell-group hosts.

From a technology and operational standpoint, the digital footprint is minimal: a static informational website, a Google Forms-based intake process, an external events platform, and standard payment gateways. There is no mobile application, no disclosed data platform, and no AI/ML capability. The organization is a small, volunteer-driven religious nonprofit whose principal strategic moat lies in community relationships and multi-generational programming rather than in any technological differentiation.

Direct peers

• Misión Carismática Internacional (MCI Colombia): The originating and largest MCI church in the G12 cell-group movement, founded by César Castellanos.
