Los Angeles, California SperlingViews

There is every kind of church on earth here in Los Angeles. The general population here in the San Fernando Valley are only 3% churched. I am writing from an Evangelical Theological view and that percentage is in light of that these views.

You could not find a richer soil however. People here are very hungry for solutions to today's problems. Jesus Christ in that solution. People come from all over the world to live here. The move more or less dislodges them from old traditions. They are ready for something that works.

We pray here at Christ Community Church that we can help.

It is a land of opportunity in that sense.
