Rachel Hamilton – Los Angeles city director

Rachel Hamilton’s journey in urban ministry began in 1994 in a low-income neighborhood in Pasadena, CA. She was first hit by God’s love for the city when she made friends with a girl while teaching her how to draw. She was one of three daughters of a single mother and her heart broke for this girl. After that experience, wherever she worked she kept bringing people back to the city to see God’s work.

In the fall of 2002, Rachel left a ministry position with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, CA. She wanted to work with non-profits and urban ministry in Los Angeles. She gained some great experience working at a non-profit youth writing project in Los Angeles and also met and married Jeff Hamilton. Even while settling into her new life she knew there was something else out there for her, but had no idea something like CSM even existed.

After following a visiting group around L.A. on a trip right after New Years, 2004, Rachel was hooked and accepted the opportunity to serve as the City Director for CSM-LA.
