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

Thanks.
It depends what his function was. If he organized the services and had a leading role, then he "held regular services".

If he was just one of the congregation, then he attended, as did everybody else.
