Every Sunday in Downtown Los Angeles a group of young people, so fearless they call themselves FEARLESS gets together and organizes a show. Not just any show but one that spreads the message of god and religion. FearlessLA is a church housed in the least expected of places, a popular DTLA nightclub called Exchange LA. When its founders set out in 2013 to bring young Christians together in a place that wouldn’t be restrictive or imposing, they weren’t kidding. Taking full advantage of social media, they created their own band, music videos, filmmakers and a huge following, which keeps up to date via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. (They also throw beach parties with bonfires.). Ampersand’s Uttara Valluri went to church one Sunday evening to find out how people had found this place, and what happens at 3 a.m.
