Church History:

Ronald C. Hill accepted the pastoral call while working as a chaplain at the Union Rescue Mission, located on "skid row" in downtown Los Angeles.   The Love and Unity Church was founded in November 1981.  When the church opened, the only members were Pastor Hill, his wife, their four small children, and a few church members.  Pastor Hill began his ministry in a rented room at a Seventh Day Adventist church in Lynwood, California.  This room rented for $35 each Sunday.  The small room had a fireplace, which kept the saints warm after waiting outside on many Sundays for the manager to open the doors because they were not given a set of keys.

Pastor Hill trusted in God to open the door for another place to worship.  After three months, God provided a building located on Long Beach Boulevard and Agnes Street in Compton.  The building rented for $200 a month.  Although this was a one-room store front building that only seated 60 people, Pastor Hill and the members were overwhelmed with joy and sang praises.  They no longer had to wait in the cold for the building to be opened, God made it possible for Pastor to have a set of keys.  Pastor Hill and the congregation prayed and believed God for more members, funds, and Holy Ghost power.   Subsequently, God blessed him to teach and preach every Sunday morning to a standing room only congregation.
