Rancho LA is home to three interconnected organizations:

Mexican Christian Assemblies, a nation-wide pastoral training and church planting fellowship.

Mexican Christian Assemblies

Almost 100 Pastors Across Mexico!

Training, Sending, and Supporting Pastors

Founded in 1962 by missionary Ollie Lovett, MCA has trained and planted hundreds of pastors in 9 states across Mexico. Our goal is to have at least 5 churches in every state in Mexico by 2050!

The Legacy Bible Institute

Training tomorrow’s pastors, teachers, and evangelists.

The Legacy Bible School is the heart of our church-planting ministry. Here we train young men and women with a call of God on their lives to plant life-giving churches among the unreached people of Mexico. Our 2-year curriculum gives our students a mix of theological classroom instruction as well as practical, hands-on ministry experience to ensure they are ready to take on the challenge of growing healthy congregations all over the country.

House of Light Orphanage

The House of Light is a safe refuge for kids who have been rescued from abandonment and abuse.

Here they receive food, clothing, education, medical care, and most importantly, the love of Jesus. This place has been a haven for hundreds of children with nowhere else to go since 1980.

Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans.

Isaiah 1:17a
