Servant Evangelism

BOARD OF DEACONS:

Deacons are elected by the congregation and are ordained officers commissioned for specific services. The Ministry of Deacon, as set forth in Scriptures, is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, and those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress. The Board of Deacons provides care and services to the congregation and the community. The Board is under the supervision and authority of the Session. The activities and services performed are reported to the Session through the Ministry of Congregational Care and Fellowship.

Lunch Ministries

Due to the recent COVID-19 Global Pandemic, weekly lunch service has been postponed until further notice and guidance from the City and County of Los Angeles and the State of California. However, the WPC Community is invited to receive free, weekly grocery boxes for pick-up in the church parking lot, located at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and 2nd Avenue every Thursday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. All participants must follow the local “Safe Distancing” guidelines and wear a mask to receive boxed groceries.
