We usually attend the 6pm evening Mass, which is why it's especially disappointing to share this experience. During Palm Sunday today, the church was extremely full, with many people standing due to limited seating. This Mass typically includes a youth choir, and unfortunately, on multiple occasions, my daughter and I have felt unwelcome sitting near them and their families. There is one particular older Filipina who is involved with the choir and collection. She wears a long black dress, usually has her hair up in a bun with black and gray hair, wears glasses, and carries the money basket. She often directs the children during Communion. This evening, my daughter and I respectfully waited for the children to line up. After the first group went, we stepped into line, but shortly after, this same Filipina lady directed about 20 more children to cut in front of us without any acknowledgment no apologies and no basic courtesy or manners. This hasn't been a one-time issue. The overall environment during this evening Mass has often felt unfriendly and unwelcoming. When it comes to the part of the Mass where you greet others with "peace be with you," these children in this choir don't even acknowledge you. Some often roll their eyes at you or ignore you completely. Their parents are unfriendly and disrespectful as well. It comes across as extremely rude and disrespectful. The ushers can also be abrupt and unwelcoming, often more focused on control than creating a warm and welcoming environment. Church should be a place of kindness, respect, and community...welcoming not unwelcoming or judgmental. As a parent, it's very difficult to continue bringing my daughter somewhere she feels uncomfortable. After many years, sadly we have made the decision not to return to this church. I sincerely hope the parish reflects on how people are being treated so no other family especially no child has to feel this way ever.

Located on the corner of W. Carson St and adjacent to Manuel Ave, this church is conveniently located in a quieter part of Torrance and only a block away from Torrance High School. I arrived here during the afternoon of Friday 7/26/2024 at around 3:50pm. Since I did not come here to pray or worship, it was actually for a Celebration of Life funeral services for my cousin that sadly passed away two weeks prior and had lived in this area nearly her whole life. There is a dedicated parking lot that is adjacent to the church and if that is filled up, there are plenty of spaces that go into the residential areas. I will say that the church itself is beautifully decorated with ample seating that can accommodate up to a few hundred guests. The high pillars and natural light make this a truly wonderful environment while services can be rewarding to everyone attending. I did want to add that there are several restrooms that are conveniently located. But the real treat is that this church has a full-on kitchen, banquet area, and very large formal dining area which is ideal for the type of service during my visit. Finally, the pastors and staff did an amazing job catering us to a nice meal following the funeral service. All in all, "First Baptist Church of Torrance" is a well-run and flawless church that went above and beyond for each and every single one of us. If you are in the area and wish to attend their services, I highly recommend it. And the headline of their website says "Love God. Love People. Teach Others to do the Same" which sums it all up. My rating, a unanimous five stars.
