Awaken LA Church - Valley Village (CA)

Andreas Aristidou This Greek Orthodox Cathedral does not get 5 stars because Im Greek. Not at all. It is indeed a place that exceeds your expectations of a cathedral. The church itself is really spacious and super beautiful inside. The Easter ceremony there is magnificent and you might catch a glimpse of Tom Hanks sometimes. There is ample room for parking which transforms into a great space for events which they organize often there, with live music, dancing and food. I have had many incredible days there. Check out my pictures for both events and church ceremonies.

Jason Brubaker Thrive offers a very open, caring and welcome atmosphere. If youre looking for a place to connect and thrive, I recommend checking out one of the services.

Paula Steger We were so honored to be part of Bach to the Future with world renowned Dr Christoph Bull at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles!

S Jason (Simchelin Guide) Absolutely fantastic experience of church from the sermon to the praise. They have guest speakers here once in a while whom are really great at speaking. The worship is like a live concert. Thats how great the praise team is. Pastor Alex is funny uses excellent rhetoric and has awesome sermons. This church has made me grow drastically in my spirituality. PTL. btw all are welcome. Im gay and Im happy with their stance. LGBT friendly is a plus.

Juan Guerrero RTLA is a BIG family! The moment you stepped in you feel like youve belonged there for ages. Great message and exceptional leaders. Pastor Javier and Cynthia are phenomenal and readily available. Join us and feel the presence of God!

Tania Arriaga the best church Ive ever been to, grateful for how incredibly inclusive and amazing this church is!

Patricia F We attended the Taylor Swift Candlelight Quartet Show at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. It was AMAZING!! Yes, it was at a church and the venue was beautifully lit with hundreds of candles. Needless to say, It was a spiritual experience. Wow!! I loved it so much I just booked another. Thank you for providing these.

Douglas Sims Great program

Roxie Beckles Beautiful church. Wonderful and welcoming congregation and staff. I really enjoy Sunday mass and just the peaceful environment to worship each week. Reverent Novus Ordo mass. For those who need this info: * All Sunday/Vigil/Holy Day masses accompanied with an organ and cantors. Sunday 10 and 12 have a full beautiful choir. Traditional vernacular missa cantata (some response in Latin depending on the season). Daily mass is low mass. * Straight forward Traditional Vatican II solemn celebration of the mass. Meaning you wont find many "liturgical abuses" that many find concerning if you are used to/looking for a more traditional Catholic mass. * WONDERFUL priests who are ON FIRE for Gods word, and pastoring the congregation. * Sunday mass it can be a little disruptive if you wish to pray or say the rosary beforehand. People gathering and chattering among themselves in the sanctuary. BUT... * Theres a BEAUTIFUL 24 hour Adoration chapel! So you can pray there or in the Marian Garden. * A wonderful church community. Coffee and donuts after mass which is great to meet other Catholics. And other great ministries to participate in. Plenty of parking as well.

Sonia Garcia Enjoy coming to this church. They also do a procesión during Lent. The priests there give an excellent service. Location is great as it is close to the bus stop and metro.
