Steve Cha is a Master's Seminary graduate who has been seasoned for such a time as this. Come fellowship with saints under Steve's leadership who don't compromise the gospel to appease the critics. See examples of true love displayed in the working out of "your salvation with fear and trembling." The great commission is at the forefront - led by Tony Yu, saints are equipped to serve the saints and empowered by the Spirit to go out and faithfully proclaim the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There's even free food. I attended the pre-launch as well as assisted with the launch event on September 17th. What I found helpful was the opportunity to serve and the blessing of being served. I am challenged by the examples of the saints who put Christ on display with not only their lips but their steps. read more

Grace City LA - Churches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I found GCLA after doing a search for "apologetics ministry in Los Angeles" on Google. I've been blessed to have found a place I can call home. The teaching of the word here is powerful, and Pastor Steve Cha does an exemplary job in his expository style of preaching. I also attend community group, with Pastor Ray Sevilla, who teaches us how to carefully and accurately exegete the word of God, line by line. His knowledge of scripture surpasses anyone I've met in the faith firsthand. I've attended many churches throughout LA, and this group is unique in the passion and heart they have to reach the lost, and in raising strong Christ-centered disciples. The musical worship team is quite gifted, and the hymns glorify God and support each sermon lyrically; leaving behind all of the fanfare experienced at some of the more "new age" types of churches in Los Angeles. You won't get any huge concert performances here, but you will be moved by Paul and Evelyn Yi's contribution of musical worship every weekend. I've been so fortunate to have become a welcomed member of this group who I now call family that in the Spirit I proposed to my future wife during service and the church has also been gracious enough to host our wedding and reception there as well! Amazing. Too many blessings to count. Come and join us at Grace City LA! Together we can bring the message of the Gospel through the Holy Spirit to a city who needs it so dire in these days and times. read more

Anyone searching for a church really needs to add Grace City LA to their list of churches to check out. This is a new church and I have attended all of its predecessor churches in the space dating back to 2003. It has been a blessing watching GCLA get ready to serve the community. In a nutshell, it is a truly special church designed for the modern age that's rooted in the bible and isn't shy about going out to the city of Los Angeles to spread the gospel. Most churches I've been to usually emphasize only one or two of those things. GLCA seems to embrace all three. And their actions speak louder than words. The church has a very strong emphasis on sound biblical teachings as well as local evangelistic ministries. This place is a real haven for those that want to grow in Christ and have the heart for the lost. Incredibly diverse group and very welcoming staff!!!! Parking can be confusing at first but once you figure it out, it's easy. read more

I went to this church with a friend and am now in the part-time Music ministry. Pastor Steve, a graduate from the Master's Seminary revolves around the Word and does not beat around the bush or try to appeal to the masses. He follows, teaches, and applies what the Bible portrays and does it with conviction and a true calling. When I go to a church, I tend to focus mainly on their foundation in the Bible and it seems like an answered prayer to be able to find a church like this in its beginning stages. If any of you are looking for a church to visit, settle in, or just experience it the first time (interest in a relationship with Christ and the Bible), then this church would be a suitable match for you! read more

A great place of worship, sound teaching and practical, genuine application of the WORD of GOD. Plenty of smiles and members easy to talk to who truly love the LORD JESUS CHRIST. read more

See all

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. read more

Grace City LA is definitely a unique and novel church in that the teachings and sermons are crafted to edify the members into biblically equipped Christians. The teachings range from simple topics such as prayer to complex topics such as the difference between Calvinism and Arminianism, but they all take root deeply in the Bible. Learning about such topics really helped me realize that the Lord we worship is much more than our human knowledge constructs Him to be. Pastor Steve is a very wise, but very approachable Pastor and he really wants each member to be biblically equipped so that we can evangelize the gospel to the rest of LA. read more

Excellent place to learn the word of God preached by pastor Steve. A place where people care, love and serve others.

"Grace" means unmerited favor, and Grace City LA is a church that teaches God's way of salvation is understanding the gift of God through Christ Jesus the Savior. The City of Los Angeles is full of church congregations, but only a few teach the Bible without compromising to cultural trends and social movements. Pastor Steve Cha has attended professional seminary training, taught many theology topics and knows the Bible well. He lives above reproach, and cares for those around him. This church feeds the community, not just good food for the stomach, but also God's Word for the soul to help people understand the way of salvation from eternal punishment, which we all deserve (Romans 3:10; 23). The church defines community, true fellowship and learning practical application for daily living. read more

I have been attending this church for about a year. I was born into a third generation Christian family and attended church all my life. I decided to make this my home church because I have grown in my faith by learning so much more about the bible, and who God is, through the in-depth exploration of God's word during service and in community group. The congregation is intimate and genuine, so the fellowship at church and on a personal level is fulfilling. Also, the praise team is awesome!!! Very talented and devoted members. read more

I've visited Grace City LA twice. Once for a service and recently for a Women's Conference. The one big thing I walked away was how much passion they have to serve others and their community. The message was an exhortation to press on and share the gospel. Regardless of what you are looking for, what you're used to or your expectations it's important to remember it is about allowing God to speak to us in the moment. Having our eyes and ears open. I walked away challenged and inspired to serve my community and this is what I needed in my life for this moment and I was blessed! God is so good. Thank you Pastor Steve and all your servants and being that example. read more

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.

I attended the inaugural service today and I was very impressed. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. The message was great. Pastor Steve preached out of the Bible, teaching God's word rather than man's opinions. He has a heart for the lost and hurting and that's reflected in the church's philosophy of ministry. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Have you been looking for that church that just tickles your ears, waters down the gospel, and does nothing but subtly praise Satan? Boy you've come to the WRONG place! This church will make the flesh run straight to hell after one listen from Pastor Steve's uncompromising preaching of God's Word. While your flesh will get wrecked by the message, your spirit will be nourished and strengthened by the message to take on several Goliaths. King David would be jealous. More than once a week they go out to battle like Joshua did in the streets of Jericho by evangelizing in the city of LA. You want a church that takes ACTION? Well this is it. You want a church that loves you enough to tell you the full biblical truth? Well this is it. The fellowship is very sweet, inviting, and they accept people from various walks of life. So come on over, grow in Christ, enjoy true fellowship, and conquer the world with the gospel! read more

I learned the true Gospel through the sermon by pastor Steve Cha. Very touched during the service. I love go Crace City LA again!

I really appreciate that Pastor Steve put an emphasize that this church is based on God's word alone. It is so important that people stay focused on God's word & don't deviate from it at all. I'm also really glad that there is an emphasis on evangelism as that is the commission that Jesus gave us. I love people and want them to be saved, & I want to share my love of Christ with the world. Also I like how in between songs the worship team explained what the songs mean & focused on worship. Everyone is friendly & welcoming there. read more

Steve Cha preached an expository sermon on the word of God. He amazes me in his knowledge of the historical, political, and social issues of the time the Word was written and brings it to life so it is easy to understand. He instilled in everyone a desire to do more in our time on earth for God and to be disciples in these last days. I'm so glad I attended the launch service. A true man of God that lives his life as an example to all of us on how to do the work of our Lord and dedicate our lives to God! read more
