First Congregational Church of Los Angeles - Los Angeles (CA)

Daniel Lee I found this church after I moved in the area. A truly special place where people are loving and anyone is welcomed.

Dru Peebles I needed to find a good Church in Los Angeles. I google searched Church Near Me that teaches the true word of God. Core Church LA popped up. I remember I have heard pastor Steve preach on 95.5 KKLA. So I call my mom and ask her what is the best church to go to in Los Angeles? She tells me go to the Chruch that Steve Wilburn pastors. She said I have heard him on the radio and I remember his name it sounded familiar. I look up his name and Core Church LA pops up the same church that was first in my google search! I’ve been reading the Bible for the past 14 years. I was stuck half way in the book of revelations and stopped reading the Bible for a little time maybe 2-3 years. So when I first came to Core Church it was in 2019. I am instantly greeted by the most awesome family of Christ you can imagine instant fellowship and welcome arms. I sit in the service and guess what Pastor Steve is preaching in the book of revelations in the exact same chapter that I stopped reading at in three years ago. I followed through with him through the whole study of the book of revelations and that was the Holy Spirit signifying to me this is the church you need to be in! Not only did I finish reading revelations but I understood what it meant and God has been revealing His word incredibly to me now. After I finish reading revelations I started reading the old testament because I started in the New Testament first and I will have finished reading the whole Bible cover to cover by the end of this year. I promised God I would read the Bible before He would come back and it could be any day now so pick up the word of God the Bible your armor from God Himself come to Core Church and get filled up with the Holy Spirit and let’s spend eternity in heaven together rejoicing and celebrating with our father Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I plan on reading the Bible every year for the rest of my life now every morning when I wake up fellowship with the Lord. This church will help you grow in the Lord God bless you all and see you at church!

Karen J The Cathedral itself is full of artistic wonders. The congregants are friendly and open. The sermon was thought-provoking, the choir was amazing; and as today was a feast day, the "high" service supplied all the majesty available. We attended on the 4th Sunday of the month, so a tour of the Cathedral treasures was available after the 11am service. Walter, the tour guide, was most knowledgeable and charming.

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.

Rob B So inviting and welcoming! The space is cool, the worship is awesome and the messages inspiring. There are some of the most delicious pastries Ive ever had here as well! The relationships formed here are genuine, and it really is like a family. This is my home away from home! :)

Douglas Sims Great program

Angela Kelly After 41 years being a COGIC member, I finally visit the church home of our Former Bishop Charles Blake. This is a beautiful place in Inglewood California.

Bulldogg Steven As a young Hispanic male full of tattooed i have been to many churches, but none like this one. Everyone is so welcoming, I love how diverse the church is. The kindness and acceptance is genuine .. there are so many different ppl, from so many walks of life. Just overall amazing. God is Great.

Justin Kwan Visited our friend Pastor Phyllis and really like the family feel with the couches. The kids stayed in service this week. They are intentional with group discussion and I appreciate that as someone who promotes active learning. All the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Very diverse.

Frances Peterson St. Agnes is your regular parish church with a lot of class. Its a multi-racial parish but they make you feel welcome. They blew us away on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima with a beautiful candlelit procession, volunteers carrying the statue on a flower. Be decked bier, gorgeous music provided by the sisters from the monastery of the trinitarians of Mary, gorgeous flower arrangements. Great preaching in Spanish and English though we noticed the Korean community was not present at that mass, and the most marvelously friendly community that came to welcome us after the mass. There is parking in the lot but you should get there early. Of course. One can take the bus or Uber as well. If you get there early, then you can find out how the parish works from the friendly members and learn how to get your bulletin, your seat, find the restroom, etc. Remember to receive Holy Communion at a Catholic church. You must go through the RCIA program for 9 months from September to June. One has to be formally received into the Catholic church in order to receive the sacraments. It is respectful to do so.
