 Biddy Mason -
Founder of First AME Church of Los Angeles |
The First AME Church of Los Angeles celebrated church founder Biddy Mason’s life on Sunday, August 15th, on what would have been the trailblazer’s 192nd birthday. In honor of Mason, Pastor John J. Hunter and First Lady Denise Hunter presented the first-ever Biddy Mason Award to community leaders and advocates Angeles Echols-Brown and Areva Martin. Bridget “Biddy” Mason founded FAME in 1872, making it the first and oldest church founded by African Americans in the City of Angels. Mason received the vision from God to establish a church that would minister to the mind, body and soul of all who would join that small band of believers. That vision and small band of believers has grown to what is now a congregation of more than 19,500 members and several dozen ministries within 13 corporations that bless and reach tens of thousands of seekers in greater metropolitan Los Angeles. |
