Let the People In! (To The Church in Ocean Park!)

The Church in Ocean Park is dedicated to social justice.  Kids with Disabilities dance here, Girls are empowered here through Girl Central, Girls who Code, dance and Yoga. The Committee for Racial Justice, Climate Action Santa Monica, Rent Control and others were organized here and launched into the community. The Queer Prom is held annually, (with the exception of 2020). We are interfaith: Muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Atheist, and more. We celebrate a variety of Holy Days as well as Transgender Remembrance Day, Mental Health Awareness Month, Bodhi Day and much more. People who Experience loss come for comfort and support through our Encouragement Group.  We hold memorial services and weddings for beloved community members.   But nobody can meet in the Church in Ocean Park right now.

 

We can no longer meet in the Church in Ocean Park. The ceiling is falling down and could land on someone's head. We need to raise $100,000 so that we can bring the Kids with Disabilities back, and the AA groups and our Grief Group, etc. We are a place where people gather to organize to make a difference. We are a place that Kids with Disabilities know and LGBTQIA+ folks find safety and support. People need a place to gather and the Church in Ocean Park has been there. We want to be there again. Please help us open our doors. Any amount will help. Thank you for your support and for sharing this with your friends. Help this interfaith community dedicated to social justice to open its doors.
