MacArthur Park Ministry
Once a month, Sunday, 3:00pm
Through partnership with World Impact and their Love in Action program,
we have developed an ongoing relationship with La Luz Church in MacArthur
Park, Los Angeles. This is a great local urban ministry serving opportunity,
available for volunteers each Sunday afternoon. Excellent training ground
for urban street ministry, missions service, preaching pastors and Spanish
translators. Ministry time is from 3:00PM until dark. Watch the MacArthur
Park Video for more info (DVDs available).
Currently, we have 10 different Ventura County
Churches and ministries partnering with this outreach ministry to the extreme
poor and homeless. A few of the churches participating are Vineyard (Newbury
Park, Camarillo), Church of the Hills Agoura, Simi Pres, and Calvary Community
Westlake.
