I wanted to visit this church being fairly new to LA, however after reading the reviews about parking and the fake leadership, I’ll pass. I’m not a huge fan of mega churches and that prosperity itchy ear preaching. I don’t want to go to church to be entertained, I want that conviction preaching like Pastor Gino Jennings. I guess I’ll stay home and watch Gino on YouTube 🙂‍↔️❤️🌿
Beautiful church with a lovely congregation. I had the pleasure of being present for the Easter Sunday celebration. The production was very well thought out and the performances were a joy to watch. I was surprised, with this being a mega church, to find that there were no parking options available for members or guests. I did notice what I believe to be a gated faculty parking lot behind the church but it was not accessible for anyone else. Most people had to park blocks away or take public transportation. However, the church is conveniently located next to a metro station. I would keep that in mind when visiting.
I just moved to the area and have been on the church hunt. Maybe I've just gone to too many mega churches with that commercial feel, you know how some churches just try too hard, no offense because hey, different strokes for different folks, right? Well, this church to me, just has that It Factor. If you're looking for a real gem with unique music, a thought provoking sermon and where you can get involved in the community, this is it. Also Phil the greeter is the sweetest guy ever !
I forgot about Monday's and museums, so I was SOL when I showed and they were closed. I did at least get to see and smell their garden, their Azaleas are bombastic. Stuck my phone through the gate and snapped some pics. But no Zen, so I'm doomed to keep living and repeating this cycle, dooooommmmmeeeddd!
Beautiful church that I absolutely loved attending when BLAKE SR was pastor with his lovely wife, Lady Mae. Now that Jr is there with his wife, they honestly give ME fake, phony, LA vibes. Maybe he needs time to grow but I mean the man is already in his 50s, how much more time he needs. TBH, the guest preachers do a better job than him! Can I get a AMEN?!

Maybe it's just me, and I'm sure some people gonna think I'm being too harsh, but church is a place you go for spiritual healing. The pastor should be anointed not just appointed. His delivery and messages is too soft and he tries to force his audience to like/love his wife too much. All though his sermons are Bible based, he seems too inexperienced and I feel bad because sometimes I fall asleep on them. IJS
Good afternoon. A family of three needs help! We ask for help with the u4u program. We are in Ukraine in a war zone and need help! We ask those who care to help a family with a child.
I've always had a great experience every time I attended West Angeles Church of God in Christ it's always warm and inviting and comfortable and the spirit of the Lord is truly in that place and if anyone is looking for a good church home I highly recommend West Angeles you will not regret it and that's a promise I will be a member of Los Angeles for the rest of my life if God says the same
Overall, my visit to this church was incredibly satisfying. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, inspiring worship, and a tight-knit community made for a truly enriching experience. I would highly recommend this church to anyone seeking spiritual nourishment and a sense of belonging. Coffee and Ukrainian kanapku most delicious ever .
Love attending this cogic church. Beautiful sanctuary and grounds. The Word is shared with the key focus of bringing you back to worship and God. The musical ministry is outstanding and so very uplifting. Very community center serving. Come and I bet you'll be back .
West Angeles COGIC is an outreach church that sends evangelists to Skid Row, where I live, on a monthly basis. They share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone... EVERYONE!
A peacefull place for woship

Beautiful church
Great church if you don’t have children age 0-4. For a church this big, I was shocked to find out their “nursery” doesn’t accept kids until they are two years old. Secondly, the nursery room only accept maybe 10 kids which is considered max capacity. Not a conducive church environment for families with with little children.
Closer to God I see eternal life eyes closed feet hung father forgive us
Wonderful Ukrainian church and great community!
Thenk you for your help
Hello, my name is Julia. We are a family from Ukraine. City of Dnipro. We are 5 people. Husband 48 years old, me 38 years old, son
16 years old, daughter 10 years old, daughter 8 years old. Children go in for sports girls acrobatics, the son of judo. We are looking for a person who will help our family come to the USA, the U4U subprogram, since we have a war at home, and children need peace, security, childhood, education. I am a high class hair stylist. Her husband is a company manager with extensive experience. We want to get back to work as soon as possible. If you or your friends or colleagues have such an opportunity, we will be very grateful. Thank you.
Best Church in Los Angeles with great teaching and nice people
My favorite!
Not sure how one ranks a church... it's a good church. Neighborhood parking available if you get there early. Used to offer service in Russian and English, not sure if that's the case anymore.

Evergreen LA is a big warm hug! Such s loving family feel! They set a beautiful environment for the worship , yet it doesn’t feel like a performance. They invite you be APART of worshipping the Father together as one…. Makes me so excited for Heaven…….

If you’ve never been to a charismatic church before, you may be a little surprised with movement & noises during worship, but the teaching is solid and Bible based. Pastor Tommy has a great sense of humor & points you to Scripture and puts handles on what it looks like to walk with God & listen to the Holy Spirit. If you’re brand new to the Bible, he boils it down well.

The people here are slow to judge and quick to share their heart & story. You will be known here.

Thankful for community and new friends here. Excited to continue to grow with new brothers & sisters in Christ.

Shooting TV show here. It's a very beautiful church building.
Friendly members and staff. Lovely, peaceful garden.
I believe Jesus led me to this place through my casual use of Apple maps to find a non-denominational church between here and there on a particular day. But the Presence of the Lord and the genuine, transparent love and joy of this family blew me away.

I’m typically so guarded about traditional “church,” but every skeptical thought I had dissolved within that first encounter. Their balance is uncanny along every axis I could measure (show love but not invasive, open welcome but not pushy...). Their list of recommended books included The Forgotten Ways, so I know that they get the paradigm shift I’ve longed to see in an organized body of Christ. Going from the shallow end (observe) into depths (participate, volunteer, social group, experiential group, membership) is seamless and as long as you need it to be. The worship is deep and long enough to let my guard down and my awe arise before the One who is on the throne in our midst. The pastors are supportive and care to know you as an individual. The prayer team is awesome. So much goodness, mercy, and joy here.

I first visited Evergreen during their humble beginnings in 2016 when they ran out of a home in the valley. Over the years they’ve grown not only in number, but in their authenticity and authority. Now on the west side, you can expect the unexpected at Evergreen. If the Lord is encountering you in worship, it might go for an hour. If the message is setting you free, ministry time will be on the cards. Some things you can always anticipate - warm friendly smiles as you walk in, laughs with the new person you just met and a powerful experience with God. This is a place for the unchurched, those hurt by the church in their past and those who are well grounded and rooted in their faith. You will not regret visiting!

LOVE this church & its leadership! The environment is like no other church in the LA area. I was searching for a Presence centered, Bible believing church for a long time. Evergreen is a place where you can encounter the real tangible presence of God in an environment of faith & freedom.
Love the wonderful maps and everything and all the program on here is well
Love our church!! We’re family!
Beautiful church! Kind staff.
I have always walked by this magnificent peaceful temple in all the18yrs i have lived here.I live in the area close by and this is part of my route taking my little Emiko to the dog park. Such natural & profound architectural beauty,like a hidden gem. The attendants and property security are very friendly and respectful. I really enjoy all the festivals year round and the ornate decorations on and around the Temple grounds. It is always a pleasure to be able to behold such beauty and appreciate the natural garden surrounding the temple. It gives me a sense of peaceful admiration to the Japanese culture of Nihon🇯🇵Dōmo arigatō gozaimasu(どうもありがとうございます)😊🙏🌸🌸🌸💮⛩👍👍💗
I'll pray for your people. God bless Ukraine. 🙏✝️
Gorgeous Ukrainian Rite Catholic Church. Went to support the Ukrainian community in this time of crisis, ended up having traditional lunch with Cardinal Mahoney and beautiful parishioners and priest.
I am so grateful for Evergreen church!!! It truly is one of the greatest gifts I have been given in LA! To be in a family and community where people love Jesus and go after Him is the greatest thing!

One of the things I love about Evergreen, is the tangible presence of God that you feel throughout worship and the message. He truly is glorified and there is always room and space for Holy Spirit to have His way! I love watching people experience Gods love, get healed physically and emotionally, and transformed!

I also love the sense of family and community. There truly is a spot for everyone! From Home Groups, Beach Sundays, Community groups and Sunday Socials, Coffee Socials before church- you truly have the opportunity to do life with people and to grow in God and be discipled! We also just have a lot of FUN!

I also have been blessed by the leadership at Evergreen and have learned so much from the head pastor Tommy Martinsen in how he pastors in humility, love, and a servants heart!

Feel free to join us any Sunday!!! You and your family are welcome! We also have Kids Ministry for your kids during the sermon.
I’ve been going to this church since 2019 and has been the most seamless experience I’ve had at a church in LA. LA churches are known for being too “Hollywood” but you don’t get that vibe here. People are genuinely here for God. And the worship is my favorite part, God’s presence is always so rich here. It’s a prophetic environment. And the church is diverse and welcoming. There are many ways to get to connect with people with small groups and hang outs after service, so it’s easy to plug into community. Pastor Tommy and Richard are the most down to earth, genuine Pastors I’ve ever met. This church is truly a gem and I def recommend if you are looking for a new church home in LA!
My father is a preacher, so I grew up in the church. You know what they say about preachers' kids? We are on either one side or the other... Fast forward through 30+ years of secular living, and I finally returned full circle back to God, in Belize, Central America, of all places! After living abroad for over a decade, I was invited to attend Evergreen for the first time about two months ago.

Wow. Where do I begin? Scripture-based sermons that apply to real life today, amazing fellowship with a melting pot of Christ-lovers, and best of all, a powerful ground shaking worship that will strike you to your core!

Mix this with great social events and awesome home groups throughout the week, and you'll wonder why you haven't discovered Evergreen before.

I'm proud to have found a great home church, and don't mind traveling from the Long Beach/Lakewood area multiple times per week to attend services and social gatherings.

Check it out with an open heart, and be prepared to be left in awe from the amazing flow of the Holy Spirit that will rock you to your core! If it's a relationship with Christ that you're seeking, you'll definitely find and strengthen it at Evergreen!

I love this church, the Pastors are so caring and loving. They make community easy and really know how to love well! I have never felt so safe and seen as I do in this church. They really allow Holy Spirit to operate in freedom and if you are hungry to understand who God is and have a relationship with Him, this is the right fit for you. Love my church!
I love seeing the #Christian #brothers #sisters their #children #family & #friends. It is an amazing place to #connect with the #Bible in a #non #denominational #setting. The building was an #old#bank #transformed into a #theatre where one can enjoy #olays throughout the week weekend & #nights. The building is surrended by #eateries, #entertainment #businesses #Starbucks #CVSPharmacy & after Sunday #Service #foodies #crafts &#groceries at the #Historical #Core #Farmers #Market.
It's my best day of the #entire #week! .
I worked across the street from here for like 10 years...
The story goes that when the original fox studios lot was built on sunset and Western, actress Natalie wood was very busy working at that facility and decided to build a church for her and the homies.
It's been under construction for a long while, but is getting there inch by inch... Day by day
Hello
My name is Erica Sutton I am a single mother of three kids. Me and my kids are homeless we have been homeless for ten months now. We live in the shelter and the supervisor or caseworker here refuse to help me and my kids with housing. There people here that bangs on our wall every night and the staff doesn't do anything about it. I wrote alot of note and gave it to the staff the just look at it and say they will give it to my caseworker... I havent seen her or met her since I beem here. I had one caseworker but she left in August the 5. Me and my kids are on our own here please somebody help us. I am a African American Woman I dont not speak spanish me and my kids need help please help us
I love this church! I feel very good every time I go there. Thank you
Love this church! We got our wedding ceremony here. Amen 😎🙏🏻🙏🏻
The most loving and kind people at this church! I was a visitor from another state, traveling to UCLA for medical care... This church offered me lunch, and prayed over me... They helped me in my healing process. God is surely in their midst, within the people at this church. Inside, the building is gorgeous craftsmanship, from historical cathedral type stained glass artistry... But "the church" is not a building, The "church" is the PEOPLE of God... This church, and these people, will pray with you, love and encourage you... Once Covid restrictions lift, I pray this church building will be packed with people longing to meet God, and be born again, a new life, and new creation in Christ. These people of God will welcome you, and love you.
Last time I was there a month ago and met Father Viktor in person. Today it says he passed away on March 14. So brave to stay in front line all this time and not to be scared to give us protection and help in that terrific time. Thank you, Father Viktor, for everything, and sleep well.
Thank God we have this lovely church in Los Angeles. Don’t have enough words to explain the atmosphere.. Absolutely Holy place to go.. I’m thankful for everyone who does service there. God have mercy on us......🙏🕊
I’ll try to keep my story short, because there are a lot of great things to say about this one and not that many tend to read this days reviews that people leave behind, so I’ll stick to the point although I love to reminisce.
So, it was few years back when I first set my foot on the territory of this church. At that time I just arrived to Los Angeles in the city where I didn’t know anyone or anybody and prior that time I’ve never been in LA and I didn’t even had a friend to take me in or a place where I could spend a night, one they I just got tired of wanting to always visit LA, I packed all my stuff, tossed it in the back of my vehicle and drove all the way from New Jersey for three days, whit two stop just to take a quick t rest.
Well I arrived alright and I was so e and excited for what I did and where my life finally took me and some how I didn’t even worry about anything, not even about where I’m gonna live but In the end it worked all for the best.
This church thought I remember visiting by the time I arrived to the city but it was closed already at the time but I still just wanted to check it out and see the feeling that I get from being in close distance to it, because I usually rely on the scenes that I get from being in the place and how I connect with it, so this church I dearly love and cherish.
I kept coming back many times to this church, because it made me feel that I was supposed to be there more than anything else that I was busy with at that time of my stay in LA, and this place was perfect shelter for me in my time of worries and when things seemed not to be working for me in Los Angeles in the way I thought they would, but only years after I realized that nothing in this world works the way we want it to work, so I guess I could say that I learned something that day.
On some spiritual level it reminded me of Russia and I learned many lessons and unexpected discoveries for sure, so what I make of this place is that it guides people in the way there are supposed to go. I miss it now because I’m not in LA anymore but I’m sure to visit it again when I’ll be back in city of Los Angeles again. It’s not easy though. LA is not for weak individuals, you have to literally fight your way out because if you don’t and if you will relax just for a moment, this city will swallow you and spit you back to where you came from.
My wife and I became members here the summer of 2020. Been such a warm and welcoming family since we've moved to LA.
Spritual place you really feel the positive power here like rejuvenation occurred.
Such a diverse, welcoming, and loving church with solid scripture teaching. I've been to over 10 churches in LA over the past 10 years this one takes the cake. My husband and I decided to become members here last year. Instead of having one senior pastor, there are also like 10 pastors/elders or so which I think helps keep the church leaders accountable. Highly recommended!
Very loving , accepting, and friendly people
Wonderful church to fellowship and learn about Jesus.
i was going through a moment. they saw it in my eyes - i just needed to talk to that higher power, so in silence they lead all out - security at the front grate until i was able to feed my faith, cry my tears and elevate!

The structure is beautiful, the members of the community practice what they preach. That him who you believe in with allow you in, close the doors and speak to you privately
The real Word!!!! Pastor is amazing and everyone is kind. Very welcoming!!
Please clearly state services and keep your voicemail box open.
Shouldn't have to download file off website just to know times. Our phone won't download at moment
And no one answers phone & you can't leave a massage.
Beautiful church. If you have never been to a Russian Orthodox church then you are missing something very special in life. Give it a visit and you will remember it forever.
One of the Pastor at this church is not right!!!!

He does not handle himself as a Pastor. Yelling at myself and wife and yelling "Get out of here"

We will not return to this church who doesn't know JESUS CHRIST.

What kind of Christian is this Africa-American Pastor is he?

I pray that Our Savior Jehovah come and touch this Pastor.

God Bless
The only pureland temple that I've ever been to and it was wonderful
Friendly people. Also great to play basketball on Sunday after service. Hope to see you there!
Loved this church! The worship, choir, and music are great. If you enjoy praise and worship, this is a great place to be. The message was okay... I think that the most enjoyable and powerful experience of being there - was interacting with the members of the church. It was my first time ever being their and I met so many people; they treated me like family! They were very accommodating, friendly atmosphere. They also have a restaurant, so if you're hungry after church, this is a great place to go because you're able to fellowship with people afterward.
It was an amazing spiritual experience to celebrate Vespers at St. Vladimir's for the 100th celebration of the UOC of USA on the West Coast
I want to thank you very much to my church to all the priest especial thank you to my PRIEST ALEXANDER & MATUZKA TATIANA ALSO FOR ALL THE PRIEST for the services. I'm very luck TO BE THERE FOR SO LONG SPECIAL THANK YOU TOO MY MOM WELL. FOR EVERY BADY ATEND THE CHURCH. MY GRETFULL ANASTASIA JONES

i am not going to go there anymore what is orthodox church!?
WELCOMING WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS 🙌 , SUCH A WONDERFUL GROUP OF BELIEVERS, HAD LUNCH DOWNSTAIRS AFTER WORSHIP SERVICE🙂💑👫👭👬
Absolutely wonderful place, I highly recommend to visit there! Pastor is honest, understanding and very very nice person. He does all he can to help people, never ignored anyone, especially if people needs help. Really. And when we went there together with my mom, there always excellent dinner after all. That is not free meals but for the price you pay you get much more: excellent tasty food, great atmosphere and a joy to be in such positive place, also you’ll always know that your money will be given to church that cares about people here in the US and in Ukraine too. They really help people. 5 starts is not enough - I wanna give at least 50 star rating to show my opinion! Blessed place. Awesome!

I visited Grace City LA and it was a blessing. Pastor Steve Cha is a faithful preacher of Gods Word. The worship service focuses on exalting and glorifying God based on Truth. If you are looking for a church that is faithful to worshipping God in accordance to His Word, then this is a great church. Grace City also strongly focuses on evangelism in Sharing the Gospel. It was a blessing hearing about their evangelism to the community.
Church is wonderful like home , priest Vasil is very friendly and kind, thank you so mush for this warm place
Godly Church with strong spiritual power. Great place to pray. Lovely building and Great People
Ukrainia Orthodox Church is located Downtown Los Angeles, off 101 on Melrose. The church offers very warm friendly environment. The Priest is young, dynamic, with a great sense of humor, and speaks English, Ukrainian, Russian, and Romanian. Church organizes a variety of Ukrainian cultural events.
Love this church, Westwood Hills brought a new joy to my heart that only God can provide.

I heard a wonderful message from Pastor Steve who was kind and very patient with my questions. I appreciate biblical and expository preaching, and thought it was amazing that Grace City LA does street evangelism open-air preaching as a church after each service. They are committed to the Great Commission of proclaiming the GOSPEL to the lost. I felt joy from Holy Spirit during worship so praise God for this new church!

New believers, nonbelievers, strong believers, everyone is welcomed with open arms and I just couldn't even fathom the warm welcoming that Grace City LA showed to their members. Having a very qualified Pastor(Steve Cha), a community where everyone has a voice, and where people could dig deeper into the Bible and their relationship with God in a safe environment is all that someone could ask for! It was and will be a great experience for future members and newcomers! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

This church teaches a true a gospel and a place I recommend if you're in this area or around the City of Los Angeles. Steve is an intelligent and faithful preacher of God's Word. He has a great background in theology, received a degree from a reputable seminary and loves to reach out to people about how to know Christ Jesus. You will learn how to understand the Bible and how to apply it to your own life in these "last days" we live in. Learn how to define a church, what makes up a cult and how to read Scripture.

Grace City LA is the place to go if you're looking for a church to get plugged into. Although it is fairly new, they have a solid community and the bible teachings are focused strictly on the Bible. The community is very welcoming and there are many opportunities for anyone to serve!

If you want to know the truth of God's Word, this is the place to be. The pastor, Steve Cha is an excellent expositor of the Bible. You will grow in your relationship with the Lord and be a brighter light for Christ. The church loves evangelism! I really enjoyed the service and the donuts! If you live in the downtown area of Los Angeles, then Grace City LA is for you!

If you are looking to get plugged into a new and growing church and are seeking solid scripture-based teaching, I HIGHLY recommend that you check out Grace City LA. I've been a regular attendee of Grace City LA's weekly bible studies for the past three months, and it still surprises me to see how much I've learned and grown as a believer in this short period of time. There's a clarity and boldness in the presentation of the Gospel here that I've never really experienced elsewhere, and it makes a marked difference. It's truly remarkable.

Also, since Grace City LA is a new church, there's plenty of room for you to get involved and serve the growing ministry. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and down-to-earth, and their excitement and enthusiasm for the new ministry is really contagious and refreshing to see.

Lastly, the church is located at the western edge of downtown LA, which has recently been undergoing a lot of development and change, so I see a huge opportunity for Grace City LA to really make an impact on the immediate community--both the long-time residents and the newly arriving folks. There's a big passion on the part of the leadership team for local outreach and evangelism, so I'm really excited to see the transformation that Grace City LA will bring in the future.

If you are looking for an excellent Church in Downtown Los Angeles, Grace City LA is your answer. Pastor Steve Cha preaches expositionally (line by line through the Bible). And Steve has a schedule covering Acts for the next 6 months, so you can prepare ahead for his sermon too. Steve's sermon yesterday was exceptional in its content and delivery. You will be uplifted and pleased. The Worship Team was really good, and got your focus on Christ. They also had good fellowship time in the courtyard, before heading out for street and door-to-door evangelism. Try it, and you will not only be blessed, but you will love serving our Lord in this way ! It is sooo hard to find a good church in America today ~ And Grace City LA Church is not only a good church but a GREAT church experience. Come out, don't be shy... you will feel like family by the end of the Service.
Tranquil place to visit. As Little Tokyo grows smaller and smaller and few shops are Japanese owned it's nice to visit something in LT that is of true Japanese heritage.
Orthodox Churches aka gods house all are blessed and by god. However if there is no discipline and rules than forget! priest should have more discipline! They should be quiet and keep silence . After the liturgy when you go for a launch it's bazaar omg😱 I could not stand even one minute there. Ppl are nice but too loud.

Love it!
Been worshipping the lord here for 30+ years!
I truly feel comfortable in saying that New City is a church after God's own heart. The pastor teaches "grace filled" messages in an easy to understand & sound biblical context. He doesn't force the truth down any listener's throat, but oppositely teaches the truth clearly in love and in a gentle & humble spirit.

As a visitor, no matter what walk of life you come from, there is a great chance that you will feel very welcomed & embraced when walking in, throughout the message & in your departure. I have gone to church all my life & have lived in various places within the US. With respect to this, I have never experienced such racial & socioeconomical diversity in a church body. I'm confident that when we make it to heaven, it will mirror the diversity that New City allows us to be a part of on Sunday mornings. My wife & I make the lengthy commute from downtown Long Beach to New City in downtown LA because we are truly able to grow in a wholistic manner as a part of this church body.
Amazing place. Spiritual, and light and I can feel the presence of Lord there. Lord is my refuge and whom shall I fear? Go there and save your soul, feel better, listen to English liturgy at 8am on Sundays or Russian/Slavonic at 10am on Sundays. God bless and Lord have mercy on all of us.
Exterior did look nice. I didn't get a chance to go inside, I did work on the outer area around here
Very nice and beautiful church.In God we trust.Love this church!
An elder-led church that is: faithful to the Bible, committed to helping its members mature in the faith, reaching out to non-believers.
We love Russia and the Russian people. We share a common denominator. This beautiful Orthodox Cathedral was recently completed and is a spiritual sanctuary. Similar to WW2 we have purged an abomination before, well together. Such conditions exist today. We can litigate the past or we can write the future. My hope is that all the good people and Nations of earth can come together in these precarious times. It is a win win.
I've been going to New City for almost a year now and LOVE IT! It is the most racially diverse and economically diverse church I have been to. The first time I went I was immediately noticed and welcomed warmly...It's not like other churches where you walk in and no one talks to you except for a good morning from the person handing you the bulletin. I was not only greeted but welcomed immediately. From the very first day, I loved Kevin's message of grace. He captures the heart of the Bible; God's heart for people. He doesn't bog down his messages with rules and regulations and religiosity, but teaches from the Bible, God's love, truth and all consuming grace. When I hear one of Kevin's messages I learn more about the historical time period each verse is coming from and I learn more and more about the heart of God. Not only does it help me in my walk today, but also teaches me more about the origins of the Bible. Not may pastors can do both as Kevin does. Jonathan, the associate pastor, is also a wonderful speaker and is an exceptional leader in the church. Being apart of a grow and serve group is what really cemented my connection and love for the church. That's where I created and foster lasting friendships with people that have become like family to me. We get deep in the word and in each others lives and it's powerful. All groups also have a serve portion where we reach out, volunteer and serve our community. New City has forever changed my life and I feel incredibly blessed to be apart of such an incredible, loving, open, innovative, diverse, cutting edge, non religious, Bible based, community centered, church!
My husband and I have been attending New City Church for about six years ever since it was in the beginning days. As a bi-racial woman I appreciated the diversity of ethnicity and socioeconomic, but more important than that the gospel is presented in sermon, action and presence. New City has offered me community in a way that I have never experienced and I have seen this church go from 20 people to about 400. I told my husband when it reached 100 I would be ready to leave. Ok. I'm still there and not planning to leave anytime soon.

No church will offer you 100% satisfaction, but New City offers sermons based on the Word, the gospel upheld and a dose of reality to bring you to your knees. This is my home.
This is my home church and I have been going there since it started in 2008. I'm currently an intern at the church. I'm not sure who Justin Craft is but his description contains many factual errors. He seems to know a lot about our church having attended only twice.

We have two services 9AM & 11AM and our membership is at about 500-600. Our church is one of those most diverse churches in Los Angeles both in terms of race/ethnicity and class. Whites, blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and people of mixed heritage are all well represented at New City.

Pastor Kevin & the rest of our staff preach out of both the New and Old Testament with Gospel-centered preaching and my guess is that Justin came when we were in a series entitled, "The Gospel According to the Old Testament."

Our church's motto is "we are more messed up than we know and more loved than we can ever imagine." We welcome all people from every color and creed to come as you are. God bless!
