The book said that they "held regular services".

May I say "attend" instead "hold" in this case? "Atender" would be the commonest word in Spanish in this case.

Thanks.
most common

In the US, in the Protestant sects of the church, you usually have a "pastor" or "preacher"

Sometimes the term "minister" is used, but it does not always mean the leader of the church as pastor or preacher means. You can have a "Minister of Music" or a "Minister of Seniors", etc.... In large churches, you usually have a Head Pastor and Associate Pastor.
