Who Are We?

Holman Church is a predominantly African-American congregation in Los Angeles dedicated to ministering to the needs of the community in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord of All.

VISION

Holman is a place were "Bells" are rung to gather people for dynamic worship, anoint believers for joyful service, teach disciples powerful Christian spiritual principles, and engage all followers of Jesus Christ in ministries that foster spiritual growth and manturity as the people of God embrace the mandate of Christ in Matthew 28:18-20.

MISSION

The unique mission of Holman UMC is to be an urban oasis rooted in Jeremiah 29:11, "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."

We bring to the people of Los Angeles, and particularly the historic West Adams community, Jesus Christ as the asnwer to urban needs through an array of multifaceted, paradigm shifting, spirit-centered ministries. We hope to build a future of hope where all God's people will experience salvation, love, acceptance and freedom.

Toward this end we will greatly enhance the number of persons involved in ministries with the conviction of Jon Bon Jovi who reminds us that (it is) "passion, not pedigree, (that) will win in the end." Therefore, we will stir the passion of the congregation in ways that will help transform and revitalize our community and glorify the Lord.

GOALS

• We will reach a greater number of unchurched people while enlarging our ministries to all family units with the power of the gospel of Christ.
• We will appropriate the wisdom, traditions and energy within our church to partner with others in our community to promote social service delivery, healing, justice, and economic development.
• We will increase opportunities for spiritual growth and development within our church and community.
• We will grow and expand our financial resources and human resources to sustain and expand our growing ministries.
• We will enhance our ability to be a "teaching" congregation.
