LAM is member-led community organization working for racial, health, economic justice through grassroots organizing, leadership development and community-building in Los Angeles, California.

 A team of younger organizers drives part our work  which promotes art, culture and political education as an essential part of re-building the foundation of the Black community.  

Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in criminal justice reform, a group of South Central LA-based pastors formed LAM to provide sensible solutions to ending mass incarceration through existing prison ministries.

The day to day business of the church boosts the need for an intermediary 501(c)(3) to handle the administrative details which became standard operating procedures in 2002. 

Changing forever the landscape of human services in Los Angeles and in the Black community. 

Formerly incarcerated  

are today referred to as returning citizens. An entire movement was birthed by a small group of committed faith-based men and women in South LA. 

LAM grows each year in our outreach and economic empowerment, community engagement; reentry support, violence prevention public policy, education, public health best practices, and alternatives to incarceration. 

 Founded in 1995, 

Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches is a 

CA nonprofit organization. We are not a church. 

We are people of various faiths and we work together to change conditions for whoever needs it the most. Year to year. LAM works for racial, social and economic justice through grassroots organizations and subject matter experts.

LAM provides nonprofit intermediary services to small organizations: fiscal agent service, program development, technical assistance, compliance, and access to capital/financial literacy education classes. 

LAM facilitates transformational leadership, community development, community research. Our constituency uses the information we share to create change, improve families and youth in LA, CA, and worldwide.  

We are training a new generation of leaders. 

We co-sponsor an annual coding competition for high school students with cash prizes. We are survivors and not victims.
