Since its founding as an abolitionist church, LAPC has sought ways to serve the larger community and deliver on its commitment as a Matthew 25 Church to “act boldly and compassionately to serve people who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned or poor” (Presbyterian General Assembly, 2018; Matthew 25:31–46).
This mission addresses ongoing community needs (Mutual Aid Network, while at the same time responding to and supporting urgent causes of our time (Black Lives Matter, Deportation Defense Rapid Response)
Ideas and initiatives for LAPC’s Social Justice work have stemmed from its members who have found in the Social Justice Committee a ready supply of resources and volunteers to advance justice and change. Come and bring your energy and your ideas. Send us an email.
