Lost and terrified of falling into the…read more"LA scene" (which I did at times) and desperately seeking a sense of community and that was found at NoHo Church! Praise God we found each other! I have never in my life met a more loving community and I have made honestly the truest friendships that I know only God could provide. We meet on Wednesday nights where our amazing Pastor Jared teaches from the bible. (I prefer this since I am a new believer who hasn't really studied scripture before) and Sunday nights we do fellowship meal where we eat together, take communion, share, pray for each other and worship the Lord in song. (Most of us are musicians so we sound amazing by the way!) Even if you're not much of a singer it is still all beautiful and wonderful to praise him and we would love to have you!! Also the core group of members are split into smaller groups of 3 or 4 people who meet on their own time to walk together in Christ a little bit more intimately. If you aren't just looking for a church, but looking deep meaningful friendships, would like to learn scripture and be a light in our community we would love to have you. Or if any of this sounded interesting at all NoHo Church's door is open for you.

Walking into worship - it's clearly Holy Spirit filled. The kids program is phenomenal. I have 4 children and they all love going into Sunday school. And Sunday school is also teaching the kids to go deeper. There is no junior Holy Spirit. The children are being challenged to learn to listen and act on what God is speaking to them. We absolutely love E 58 and are so thankful For that churches like this exist in LA. I will say there are things that seem "inconvenient". For example there's no parking. But I challenge you- are we attending church bc it's convenient? Or are we hungry for God. If you're hungry for more of God- E 58 is the place for you!

I have experienced so many breakthroughs, not just for myself but when I have witnessed others experience God. Expression 58 is the epitome of what it means to be the feet of Jesus. Other amazing things about this Church that I haven't really experienced with others is strong Mentorship through the Five Fold Ministry, resources to grow in God, discipleship + intercession in their life groups, how devoted they are in giving to other communities internationally, and the amount of diversity in praise/worship team. I can't say enough, but I would definitely recommend!!!

The church is beautiful and the members are extremely welcoming and nice. I've been in search of a…read morechurch home for a while now and Friendship is about 10 minutes away. The church use to be called Friendship Baptist and I was a bit confused when the word Baptist was replaced with Pasadena. I was raised Southern/ Missionary Baptist so I'm use to choir robes and the mothers of the church on the first row and ushers in uniform and ladies in big hat dressed to the niness. None of that goes on in this church. There is a praise & worship coral that sing kinda biblical nursery rhymes I'm not familiar with these songs at all. Every once in a while they sing soulful gospel songs but it's rare. And to be clear I'm not bashing this church but I am a bit disappointed that the traditional soul stirring services found in black churches have been replaced with a "safe" domination ambiguous service to appeal to younger and racially inclusive members. The pastor is pretty low key as well he's not a detailed teacher he basically recites the word and tells a story or two then the service is over in 2 hours. The first hour is praise and worship followed by random announcements. Then it's over there is no benediction after service and I find myself still searching for more I haven't been spiritually fed. Still Im not giving up on this place I'll go a few more times if it's not for me I'll move on.

My husband and I (and our toddler son) LOVE THIS CHURCH!!! It's a great mix of tradition and…read morekeeping up with the times. It seems the people have a genuine love for Christ Jesus and His church. Pastor Lucious is VERY INSPIRING and enlightening. He speaks about God's grace AND talks about living righteously through the power of the Holy Spirit. Though this is predominately and historically a Black church, there are people of other races and they are active in the church. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached here (I'm told.) The reason my husband and I came to this church (1 year ago) was that we felt genuine fellowship was missing from our previous church. There was no one my husband felt comfortable approaching to talk about issues we were having in our marriage. Once we came to Friendship that all changed. There are SO MANY married couples here that have opened up their homes to us. Some are new to marriage like us, but MANY have been married for 20, 30 and even 40+ years. We recently had lunch with a couple who have been married for 49 years and they are still HAPPY!!! LOL The quality of people who attend this church is to be applauded. The name FRIENDSHIP really fits this church. The people are friendly and are determined to honor the Lord in how they live and interact with others. They have a lot of ministries at this church. My husband LOVES the Men's Ministry that meets every Saturday morning. (Side note: How amazing is it, to me, to see a church full of MEN worshiping GOD. I'm so used to seeing women being more active in church, but at Friendship there is a wonderful presence of men.) The Men's Ministry (and other ministries) also serve the less fortunate at Union Station, feeding the homeless and praying for them. My husband once told me a story about the first time he served at Union Station with Friendship's Men's Ministry. He was so impressed that there was a professional man doing dishes with a Rolex watch on. My husband was so impressed with the humbleness of this church member. That's the kind of people at Friendship. We also attend their Marriage Ministry, Small Group Bible Study (at the home of a deacon), the Media Ministry, and our son attends the Nursery every Sunday morning while we're in the Sanctuary. I can go on and on about this church, but I encourage you to visit. I hope this review was thorough for you.

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.
