ABOUT US

One family discipling people to follow Jesus

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 study God’s word, the Bible, together. We enjoy fellowship opportunities together. We pray for each other, for our neighbors, our city, and country.

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

OUR VALUES

WORSHIPPING GOD
WORSHIPPING 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
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.
