History of the Mission Mission Ebenezer Family Church was founded in June of 1960 by Rev. Miguel and Lupe Canales, as a Spanish speaking church. It has grown from 15 to 3000 adherents since then. Principle growth came under the ministry of Pastor Isaac J. Canales. Son of Miguel and Lupe. He is happily married to Ritha Brubaker of Warren, Ohio. Ritha comes from strong Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and Assemblies of God mixed\with Christian Missionary Alliance and Mennonite roots. The Mission has strong community ties in the great city of Carson. MEFC has been recognized frequently, both nationally and locally, for exemplary service to the community it proudly serves. Over the last 40 years it has moved, 7 times ; from the projects of Harbor City to the house on Bolsa and Dominguez to Main and 2l3th, to 244th and Hawthorne, to Pastor's back yard, to Main and Torrance Blvd., and finally to Figueroa and Torrance Blvd. It has been a long Journey. It is a Spanish and English speaking church with 5 Worship times on Sunday, drawing widely from the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area as well and enjoying regular mention in the media, having been featured in both the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze.
