Huntington Park United Methodist Church’s (West District) Apportionment Giving reached 115% this September. Pastor Alexandro Vilches and Lay Leader Jackie Vázquez believe that Apportionment Giving, “reaches people through ministries beyond the local church that our own church might not ever reach. We believe that it never hurts our ministry to give because God provides for us to give. What it takes is an open mind, a game plan, and leadership with a diverse set of skills.”
In addition to worship and other discipleship activities, Huntington Park UMC offers music classes without cost to the community and runs a food distribution.
