In this final episode, we explore Presbyterian witness in Los Angeles today. We’ll look at how Presbyterians are finding new ways to worship and serve, from the rise of New Worshiping Communities to bold acts of justice like the church returning land to its original, indigenous caretakers. Through the voices of today’s leaders and laborers, we’ll hear how Presbyterians are living out their faith in Los Angeles right now—what their churches are doing in their communities, why they remain committed to this denomination, and what gives them hope for the church’s future.
