Assessment

King's Church Long Beach is a PCA church planted in 2004-2005 by Jason Mather under Pacific Presbytery's call. Mather signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest while serving as senior pastor. He is no longer in the Pacific Presbytery directory; Jason Park now serves as Teaching Pastor with David Cheng as Associate Pastor. PCA confessional posture intact via Westminster subscription; cultural drift flag for Warhurst-signer founding pastoral history. Note: this is distinct from 'The King's Church' Acts 29 plant in Ontario, CA (different denomination, different city).
