Lomita's First Church . . . A Century Remembered recounts the history of St. Mark's Presbyterian Church which began as a Brethren Mission in 1907. As the narrative moves through the decades, it stops along the way to highlight the work of the ten major pastorates, each with its own unique challenges. The story is told from the perspective of the elders who, as pastors came and went, kept the focus on Christ, church and community.
