Brooks, our Community Pastor, has been in church since childhood and is the youngest of 6 siblings. Brooks and better half, Rachel found Long Beach Friends Church [LBFC] back in 2009 and volunteered with Inner City Ministries [ICM] while being homeless. After being housed in 2012, Brooks began to work closely with ICM, becoming a liaison to LBFC during the community dinner on Sunday evenings, breakfast on Thursday mornings, and through other projects in assisting the church community. Brooks recently graduated from The Urban Ministry Institute [TUMI] at Granada Heights Friends Church and came on staff at LBFC in late 2019. Brooks currently leads us in serving our community, shares Jesus with a bible study group, and assists in worship and other church activities.
