OAC Los Angeles Branch - Established 1960

Los Angeles is America's second-largest city.

Los Angeles, the "City of Angels," is an incredibly influential city; it is the cultural center of western America, arguably of the whole US or even the world. L.A. is the hub of America's entertainment industry and also an enormous center of internationl trade; the aerospace, petroleum, and fashion industries are other important to the economy. L.A. is a sprawling metropolis, with a legendary freeway ssytem.

OAC has had a presence in Los Angeles since 1977. We like to preach the gospel on Santa Monica pier, Venice Beach, and other popular gathering places around town. We also conduct frequent children's meetings in neighborhoods around the city.
