The Arts as Transformational Ministry

Rev. Michael Mata leads a Congregations and Communities grant, the Arts Transformational Ministry (ATM) project, whose purpose is to strengthen the bonds between the five congregations that comprise Los Angeles First Church of the Nazarene—namely the English-speaking congregation, Spanish-speaking congregation, South Korean and North Korean congregations and Filipino congregation.

By being “a unified church,“ they hope to enhance their efforts to serve as “bridge-builders” with the surrounding diverse community. At the end of the summer, in addition to being busy with their community programming, LA First Church of the Nazarene hosted a talent show, including an art exhibition and food trucks!
