The Situation

Inspired by the desire to create a church that celebrates differences and elevates the voices of those often marginalized, Cara and a group of like-minded individuals decided to start something new. In 2021, Cara became the lead pastor of All Saints Los Angeles in Santa Monica, CA, where the focus is on curiosity, questioning, and reimagining church to align more closely with the teachings of Jesus. Drawing from global traditions, the church’s weekly practices and yearly celebrations, including a Pentecost-inspired drag brunch, challenge church "norms" and emphasize community, welcoming and amplifying those who are often marginalized in society.

The Impact

Through partnerships with community organizations serving marginalized groups, All Saints LA connected with thousands who were hesitant about traditional church spaces. In 2022, they hosted their first drag brunch, Drag Me to Church, which was a huge success and enabled the church to expand its staff. All Saints continues to collaborate with groups dedicated to systemic change in housing, combating institutionalized racism, supporting homeless youth, and celebrating the queer community through local events.
