History of the Mission
As mentioned above, the Mission Ebenezer Family Church was founded in June of 1960 by
Rev. Miguel and Lupe Canales, as a Spanish speaking church. It has grown from 15 to 3000
adherents since then. Principle growth came under the ministry of Pastor Isaac J. Canales. Son of
Miguel and Lupe. He is happily married to Ritha Brubaker of Warren, Ohio. Ritha comes from
strong Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and Assemblies of God mixed\with Christian Missionary Alliance and Mennonite roots.
|
The Mission has strong community ties in the great city of Carson. MEFC has been
recognized frequently, both nationally and locally, for exemplary service to the community it
proudly serves. Over the last 40 years it has moved, 7 times; from the projects of Harbor City to
the house on Bolsa and Dominguez to Main and 2l3th, to 244th and Hawthorne, to Pastor's back
yard, to Main and Torrance Blvd., and finally to Figueroa and Torrance Blvd. It has been a long Journey. |
| It is a Spanish and English speaking church with 5 Worship times on Sunday, drawing widely
from the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area as well and enjoying regular mention in the
media, having been featured in both the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze. |
 |
| It began as one of the smallest and only Spanish Assemblies in the South Bay. Over time, a
switch was made to include English speaking worship for English speaking friends and family in
the Spanish Congregation. Today, both language experiences are very strong. It takes five
services on Sunday to accommodate the growth of this dynamic church with excellent ministries
to the family. The church is located off of the major on and off-ramps of LA's major freeway
system and occupies the gates of village life. |
