If you are new to our church, we'd love to meet you! On the last Sunday of every month, a group of us go out to eat and want to especially invite our newcomers to join us!

No signup is necessary - just meet us outside the sanctuary under the Newcomer's Lunch sign after the 11:30am service on the last Sunday of every month.

Whether you've spent years reading the Bible or have never even opened one before - this course is an invitation to slow down, to learn, and to (re)discover the beauty and depth of God's Word! Each week will have a mix of teaching, discussion, and time reading and exploring Scripture together in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

Call to Serve - We Need Volunteers!
We’re looking for a few more people to join our ministry teams! Across the life of our church, there are teams of faithful volunteers who are behind the scenes serving the community through acts of welcome, care, and hospitality. Serving is a great way to join God in His work and it's also where a lot of friendships at Citizens begin! No experience is needed, just a heart to serve. Fill out an interest form for more information.

Lectio Divina Meditations
Beginning October 12, we’re introducing a new Lectio Divina podcast to help us make space for God in our everyday lives. Lectio Divina, meaning “sacred reading,” is an ancient Christian practice of slowly and prayerfully engaging with Scripture through four movements: read, reflect, respond, and rest. Each Monday morning, a new episode will guide you through the practice. From Tuesday through Sunday, Citizens will provide a different Bible passage each day for you to practice Lectio Divina on your own. Whether this practice is familiar or entirely new, we invite you to join us as we slow down, listen to God through His Word, and allow Scripture to shape our daily lives.

Fuente X Citizens Potluck & Prayer Night - Wednesday, October 28th @ 6pm
Join us on the evening of October 28th for a joint potluck and prayer night with our friends from Fuente Para Las Naciones Church. Pastors Chad & Fabiola and their congregation are opening up their church home to invite our Citizens community to gather around one table together. The folks at Fuente will be cooking dishes from their homelands, and we’ll be bringing foods from ours, like some of our Korean favorites. We’ll end the night with a time of praying for each other as we continue to work together to reach all corners of the city of Los Angeles. Scripture says we are many parts but one body, and this night is an opportunity for us to live that out at the same table. Hope to see you there!

Understanding Ourselves & Others Through the Enneagram - Saturday, October 31st @ 9am
The Enneagram is a tool that names nine ways of seeing and moving through the world - not to put us in a box, but to help us see ourselves and each other more clearly. In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore what the Enneagram is (and isn’t), why self-awareness and other-awareness matters for our discipleship, and take a tour through the nine types. Our hope is for you to walk away with a deeper gratitude for who you are, a deeper compassion for yourself and others, and a deeper curiosity to keep learning. No prior knowledge of the Enneagram required! Registration fee covers food for the event.

Prayer Room
As we enter into a season of rootedness as a church, we wanted to offer a tangible way to step into this season with intention. Our vision for our Citizens Prayer Room is simple: to create space where anyone can come to seek God through prayer. Rather than a structured gathering, this is meant to be a space in the middle of the week to slow down, become present before God, and respond to His invitation.
Eastside Prayer Room Launches 10/13
