Looking for a Church where you feel welcomed from the moment you get into the parking lot?…read more Searching for a Spiritual Family that accepts you and meets you where you are? Lake Ave Church is a large congregation with a family feel. There are lots of options and ministries to meet your needs: children, teens, young adults, parents, grandparents, seniors, missions, music, etc. They have a ministry for brothers and sisters with different abilities, for those who went through divorce and for those going through illnesses... They support partnered projects to fight human trafficking, homelessness and all those affected by the recent fires. This Church is committed to open the doors to the most in need and serve like Jesus did. English, Spanish and Mandarin groups are available. Come to the service as you are, and find brothers and sisters who are willing to walk with you in this journey. Jesus is the center of worship, and the Word is shared in a way that invites deep reflection and the Holy Spirit's revelation. The Team of Pastors complement each other with their gifts to care, encourage and teach the congregation with transparency and genuine love that is felt in tangible ways. For me, it was the offering to pray for me, supporting me with therapy through partnered professional counseling, welcoming my daughter to serve with me because I didn't have childcare at home, equipping me with deep truths through solid retreats and Bible study, and that biweekly call I receive from a Pastor to check in with me. This has been a healing and growing place where God is surrounding me and my family with love and challenging me to live with the cross and with Jesus's Joy and Hope everyday. Life is certainly not an easy journey, but with God and a Church Family like Lake Ave Church, I feel blessed along the way and embraced with prayers when I go through hardships. If God is talking to you and you don't know where to start, come join Lake Ave Church on Sunday at 9.30am (any weekend) or Wednesday at 6.30pm (beginning 1/14/2026) and let God begin shining His light in you.

It has a Gothic Revival style, the building got completed around 1924, so it's been around for 100 years or so. The stained glass, internal structure, walls and everything else about it gives this place such a solemn, calm vibe. It's incredible to just randomly walk around in Pasadena and enter it like a lost tourist in a new city.

What a blessing to have found this church, especially during COVID. The leadership did not miss a beat, checking in with each family personally and launching virtual worship services right away. We especially appreciated that the CHILDREN were not forgotten during the closure -- there was a special virtual service for them as well!

There are lots of opportunities to serve, if one is looking for that. We felt welcomed and valued from the start.

The parking lot is small but there's plenty of street parking. You're instantly greeted upon arrival. Everyone is friendly and it felt like a great community to be a part of. They also seem very family oriented and have youth ministry. It's sweet that they serve lunch after service. Makes for a good opportunity to meet others within the church to fellowship/network. From what I can see on their social media, they're hands on and also served the greater community as it's rebuilding after the unfortunate fires that took place in January. Good worship, good word, good people.

However my family and I did not feel completely welcomed by the parishioners. A Good morning and a smile could go a long way and can improve the experience in the house of God.

Definitely will come back again but hopefully the experience can be better. Can't give a bad rating due to being a Catholic Church. Mother church is a place for all people.

This church has been a true blessing to the community of Pasadena and surrounding cities. In an era…read morewhere 2/3 of American senior pastors no longer hold a Biblical worldview, we need bold, God-fearing Christian pastors more than ever. Pastor Xavier preaches and teaches the living, breathing word of God. He does not water down the gospel like many other pastors do. He teaches the Bible verses line-by-line, the way all pastors should be preaching. How else are you going to understand the Bible if you cherry pick verses or bounce around from book-to-book? Pastor Xavier also preaches with spiritual discernment. He believes that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. He does not sugar coat controversial topics. He backs every argument with Scripture. I have been to other churches throughout Pasadena and I never felt that my faith grew. All I wanted was to hear Biblical truth. Many pastors are afraid of preaching Biblical truth because they don't want to ruffle feathers within their congregation. After attending Calvary Chapel Pasadena, my Biblical knowledge and faith always grew every single time I attended church. It is a real blessing. Moreover it is a command that your faith must continue to grow. It is not an option. Pastor Xavier is unafraid to teach about sin and repentance. He recognizes the importance of Israel and the Old Testament. He stands up for righteousness by calling out politicians who commit evil acts against our society. He also criticized the scamdemic Covid lockdowns of 2020. Since when were churches considered non-essential? If God commanded his pastors to feed the flock, then what right does the government have to shut down churches? Make no mistake here. I'm a licensed healthcare professional and the John Hopkins meta analysis study of 2021 proved that lockdowns made NO difference in mortality. (I also know that the Covid mRNA shots never completed FDA Phase III human clinical trials before they were forced upon the public. Without the completed studies of safety, elimination, and toxicology, it's no wonder why I have noticed so many people suffering from adverse effects of the shots.) I'm so grateful that Pastor Xavier had the wisdom and courage to share the truth to the congregation. That's what every pastor in America should be doing! Calvary Chapel Pasadena also has excellent children's ministry. They provide childcare during Sunday morning services. They offer one week of Vacation Bible School from 6 year olds to 11 year olds every summer. They also have an amazing Christmas choir program for people of all ages to participate. They also have a Christian bookstore. If you want to truly grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, truly understand the word of God, and obey the Lord, then this is the church for you.
