African Christian Community Church of Southern California

About this church

African Christian Community Church of Southern California worships from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at 1356 Albany Street in Los Angeles, with a Facebook livestream for remote participants. The congregation is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America and serves Los Angeles County’s wider African community, with a particular connection to Congolese immigrants. Music is central to Sunday worship: its praise ministry brings singing and dance into services, reflecting the social and spiritual role music holds in the community.

ACCC began around 2000 when eight Congolese people gathered in homes and grew into a congregation with members from across the region. Its mission pairs the Christian message of salvation and love with practical help for immigrants establishing life in Southern California. Youth ministry trains younger participants for leadership and works with the media team to offer employment, career, and education orientation for recent arrivals. Cell groups extend the congregation beyond the main sanctuary; for example, the Valley group publishes a Wednesday online gathering from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. The church’s Bendele campaign—using a Lingala word meaning “flag”—seeks a permanent facility for worship and community programs, reflecting a history of meeting in multiple borrowed locations. Visitors should use the Albany Street address for the main Sunday service rather than one of the regional cell-group locations.
