The Iglesia Evangélica Puerta de Sion in Trenton, New Jersey, began in 1974 under the leadership of Eugenio Matos, who had earlier given leadership to a Spanish-language segment of the Norris Square congregation in Philadelphia. By the early 1980s, the congregation was located in a storefront church on South Broad Street in Trenton. It was affiliated with the Lancaster Mennonite Conference of the Mennonite Church (MC).

In 2012, the congregation moved to larger facilities on North Willow Street, which included three buildings. By 2016, the church had launched an Internet radio station and developed extensive programs for children and youth.
