History
The Los Angeles Church was planted in August 1989 by a group of 50 visionary disciples that were gathered from churches in Boston, San Diego, and San Francisco by the Boston Church of Christ. Since that beginning, we have witnessed thousands come to Christ through faithful labor, answered prayers and the sacrificial contributions of members and resources from numerous other congregations over the years, as well as from Los Angeles. We are presently organized into eight geographic regions throughout this great metropolitan area.
