In July 2017 under Patricia’s leadership Christian Elite Ensemble began its outreach ministry called Love In Action. The purpose of “Love in Action” is to generate and/or support community projects throughout the Greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas, that are dedicated to assisting the homeless, poor, children, and elderly through various Kingdom Projects. She has been involved in Christian theatre for over 25 years. She is the founder of Black Light Theatre in Denver and the Christian elite Ensemble in L.A.
