- Latin American Anabaptist churches worship in multiple languages: Spanish, German, Portuguese and several Indigenous languages. Each language group has their own worship style.
- Many Latin American congregations have an informal and flexible worship style, with lots of singing, time for testimonies and prayers, and time to chat after worship.
- Spanish-speaking churches often sing with guitar, percussion and electric keyboard accompaniment; with “gusto”; more likely in unison than in parts; and projecting the words instead of using a hymnbook.
