Holy Assembly Church of God in Christ - Pasadena (CA)

Stephen Lehtonen Great community and always very welcoming.

Almira KIR Returned to this, my home church, after a long absence. As always, it is welcoming and a wonderful place to come home to. Most especially hearing the Bible teachings again and the heartfelt prayers, loving songs to God, words from our Pastors, elders, teachers. And yesterday, a new beginning indeed, celebrated with Communion and the humbling washing of the feet, as Lord Jesus expressed to us. A very wonderful Sabbath. Thank you, Father.

gerry james The Word of God and anointing are powerful. Love and fellowship with fellow members is awesome.

Kim Perez The first Sunday I visited Knox, I was so happy to hear announcements about upcoming church events related to environmental sustainability and immigration justice. The pastor also sprinkled the sermon with poetry and photos of art. All of this made me feel like Knox would be a church filled with people who are engaged with the world, curious and always learning. I’ve been attending now for about four years and it’s been a blessing to find such a warm and welcoming community.

Jean Menefee The best pastor and Bishop the best first lady the best members its a beautiful place to worship. Love my church.

Jany Sylvester Our family has been going to this church for 12 years and it has been such a blessing to us. We are very thankful for the solid Biblical teaching, the beautiful worship and the warm fellowship.

Patricia Duff Tucker This is a great church where the Word of God is preached, taught and explained from the Word of God by a Man of God

Linda Spach-Korepta This church is very inclusive and welcoming of all people. The services are also broadcast live, as are some forums (which are typically held before the later morning service), and theres usually a sign-language interpreter at the 10AM service. A portion of most 10AM services also include readings in multiple languages (primarily in English, and Spanish, Mandarin, or Korean), with each of the languages printed in the church weekly bulletin. The choirs and music presentations are wonderful and include opportunities for youth as well as adult participants. Stringently old-fashioned folks may not be thrilled with some aspects of the services, but if you are open minded and willing to accept less "traditional norms" &/or openness, I suggest you attend at least via their YouTube live services.

Paul de Partee Have wanted to come to mass here for a while and finally had the chance last night. Went to the 5:00 vigil mass and it was wonderful. Very welcoming parish and Father Mateo was so loving. He introduced himself to us afterward and even blessed some items we purchased at their bookstore and some medals we were wearing. Can’t wait to go back. The church is beautiful. There is an amazing grotto of Our Lady outside and a very sweet depiction of Our Lord learning carpentry alongside St. Jospeh and Our Lady.

Lisa Carter Pastor Darrell preaches God’s word eloquently, with conviction, humor, and in a loving way to foster community and engagement in the congregation.
