About Us
The church in Los Angeles is one family of Christians who believe the Bible and have received Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We believe in the one true God revealed in the Bible. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to become a man and to redeem us from our sins on the cross. Through His death and resurrection He imparts the divine life to all who believe, regenerating them and constituting them the Body of Christ, which is expressed as the church in each locality and is being prepared as the bride, awaiting the Bridegroom — Christ in His coming again.
For convenience of language we gather in Mandarin, English, Cantonese and Spanish meetings, yet we remain one testimony: language and ethnicity make no difference in our fellowship or our faith. In Los Angeles we gladly receive all the children of God, as a testimony of His oneness.
Christianity often presents Christ as a historical figure, a set of teachings, or a moral example. But the Scriptures reveal that Christ today is the Spirit, dwelling in our spirit to be the very life and supply of our daily living. We gather not to hear a fine sermon, but that Christ may be ministered out from each one.
The church is not a building, not a denomination, not a human organization, but the assembly of all the regenerated — the Body of Christ. In one locality there is only one church, not divided by nationality or by denominational history. Being in Los Angeles, we are simply brothers and sisters in the church in Los Angeles.
First Corinthians 14 says, "You can all prophesy one by one." In our meetings there is no platform-and-audience divide. Everyone may sing, pray, read the Word, and prophesy, ministering the Christ they have experienced. This is why we treasure home meetings — there, life can be cared for and built up one with another.
We share one fellowship with all the churches on earth. We are helped by the ministry released through brothers such as Watchman Nee ，brother Lee and Titus Chu, yet we follow no man and take no man's name. Among us there is no clergy class; brothers serve according to the measure of life, and sisters coordinate in love.
Feel free to visit us, talk with someone in person, and ask any questions you have.
