ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

WORSHIPING GOD

We were made to love God with all our hearts.

We believe that real worship is both the celebration of the love of God as well as surrender to His will.

THE FAMILY OF GOD

We were made to experience being the family of God.

We believe that real fellowship means time together, study together, prayer together and service together. We believe that the church is a global community and we are called to be an English-speaking church that warmly welcomes and enfolds people from all nations and languages.

Small Groups are the best way to connect and build relations.

GROWTH IN CHRIST

We were made to continue to grow as followers of Jesus. We believe that real spiritual growth is a lifelong process. This means obedience to Jesus’ commands, regular study of God’s Word, living a life of prayer and serving one another in love.

BIBLE STUDIES

OUR STORY

The story of our church is a story of people.

We are rooted in a long history of men and women of God who have believed and committed to sharing the greatness of Jesus to all persons.

It began back in 1941, when a group of people saw the need to start a church in Temple City, a suburb of Los Angeles.

They started meeting in a movie theater, then in a social club, before settling in the Baldwin Avenue campus where we are located today.

We are a family. We pray for each other, for our neighbours, our city and country.

Our story is still being written, and you are invited to be part of it!

One family discipling people to follow Jesus

We want to be a church where people from all nations can experience the greatness of Jesus. Our vision is to impact and transform our community by deeds of love done in His name.
