Fall 2025 is our target launch date.

Our heart is connected to the people & neighborhoods in and around Echo Park, Westlake, Downtown, and Koreatown. While we’re still searching for an exact location, we want to plant within an easy commute of these neighborhoods. In the early phases of our church plant, we will likely meet in a variety of places: coffee shops, homes, other church facilities, etc.

Our current goal is to build a launch community of 50-70 people. We’re trusting God and actively looking for a core team of leaders and initial community members with whom we can grow, bond, and launch a new church! Our goal is to launch with directors for worship, kids, and connections.

Tuesday nights: In the summer of 2024, we began meeting weekly on Tuesday nights for prayer, friendship and culture building, and Bible study. Come join us!

Sunday services: We won't host our own GLCC Sunday worship services until we officially launch in 2025. Until then, we're worshiping at a variety of local LA churches on Sundays. Let us know if you'd like to come with us!

Renewal in Christ is for everyone, from die hard believer to seasoned skeptic. We all need to be made new creations (2 Cor. 5:17) who are then being inwardly renewed day by day (2 Cor. 4:16).

That said, regardless of ethnic or social demographic, here's four spiritual profiles common in LA we long to see renewed in Jesus:

• The Follower (someone who is actively following Jesus whose faith needs growing).

• The Prodigal (someone who loosely identifies as Christian whose faith needs waking).

• The Victim (someone who has been hurt by the church whose faith needs healing).

• The Skeptic (someone who isn't sure about Christianity whose faith needs finding).

Put those together, and we want to be a community where growing faith grows, sleeping faith wakes up, hurting faith heals, and missing faith is found.

Its meaning — Renewal resets us.

“Renewal” can mean lots of things. We use the word to mean the process by which Jesus restores his presence in our lives and recenters us around his lordship. As that happens, we also naturally resume partnering with Jesus in his mission. In these three things—Jesus’s presence, lordship, and mission—our God-given identity is rediscovered and personhood restored. We are reset. 

Its hope — Renewal anticipates revival.

As more people and communities experience ongoing gospel renewal in Jesus, we trust God to also bring revival in the spaces around us as He leads. Seeking renewal inside the church, therefore, is a way of preparing and contending for revival outside the church. In the words of Mark Sayers, “revival is renewal gone viral.” 

Its scope — Renewal is holistic. 

We believe walking with Jesus renews our…

…Relationships (the community we experience with God, others, and self).

…Rhythms (the practices through which we grow in faith and navigate everyday life).

…Reasons (the purpose for which we’re sent into the world). 

For these reasons and more, seeking gospel renewal is the heartbeat of our church. 

As Jesus is renewing us, we also long to see him renew Los Angeles and partner with him in his process.

On a personal level, that means carrying Christ’s love and presence into our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd spaces, becoming agents of Christ’s renewal at home, work, school, and everywhere else we go every day.

On a communal level, that means empowering people and using resources to make a difference in our neighborhoods at structural and institutional levels. We long to be a church that plants new churches and starts new ministries, while also serving our city in areas like education, housing & homelessness, and others that touch the everyday lives of L.A.’s everyday people.
