WHAT TO EXPECT

Every Sunday we gather at the auditorium of Grand Arts High School to worship together as a community. Our services are about 90-minutes long and consist of singing songs of praise, confessing our sins and faith, hearing teachings from the Bible, and praying together. Whether you are looking for a community committed to living a life like Jesus or just curious about who Jesus is- we'd love for you to join us! We strive to create space for those living in Los Angeles to learn about who Jesus is and walk together in the way of Jesus.
