After a year and half of attendance, I finally am ready to speak up about this church…read more After seeing the funds of the church going to things like recording music and not going to local community in the middle of Hollywood- enough is enough. There is next to no diversity on the staff. Only really one person of color. Even in recent times where there has been opportunity to add diversity to staff, this has not been a priority. The pastor seems more interested in the sound of his own voice than to take accountability for how little courage there is in not standing up and speaking up about all the social injustice that's not only going on in the nation but literally outside the doors of the church. He skates around the topics, sarcastically jokes and will never outright call out injustice. For a church in the middle of Hollywood- this is predominately white, very surprisingly right wing despite the facade, and VERY cliquey. Really disappointed in the amount of time and trust invested in this church, but am finally speaking up and going to support a different church body that actually is ACTIVE in the community, diverse and shows it in actions even with who the pastor and his wife choose to surround themselves with- it's just really such a bad witness for such a diverse city.

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 found GCLA after doing a search for "apologetics ministry in Los Angeles" on Google. I've been…read moreblessed 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.

I live in this neighborhood - I'm happy we have a group like Bethel Lutheran Church trying to make a difference in our community. It is not their fault - do what I do when someone blocks my driveway- get them towed. They'll never do that again. People leave trash outside my house on Curson - people are inconsiderate generally; quit blaming an organization that has a heart!

I found it by googling Episcopalian churches since I was drawn to a denomination that took the Bible seriously but not necessarily literally (incorporating the geo-political context of the time), promoted social justice (they have community gardens and have a great urban internship program), embraced all (equality/inclusivity for all), realized that healing was a holistic endeavor (spiritual/mental/physical), and drew all their strength as a community from a loving God. I visited in early 2014 and haven't left. I wasn't overwhelmed by any fancy light shows or welcome teams, just real people ready to have hard conversations and really be the hands and feet of God to a world that is hurting and needs healing. Come, just as you are, and find refreshment in the middle of Hollywood.
