OUR PASTOR
JACOB TORRES
Our Pastor, Jacob Torres, has been serving God and ministering the gospel for over 10 years. He and his wife, Arjen Sarah, have played a pivotal role in establishing this church even as they've started their own family! Pastor and Sister Torres have faithfully committed themselves to Jesus Christ, and sharing the Word of God with passion and with love. Pastor Torres believes in the power of Holy Ghost to change lives, and he continues to encourage others to live with purpose and passion for the Lord.
OUR STORY
What originally started as a Bible Study group meeting in an apartment during the peak of the pandemic has turned into a devoted fellowship dedicated to bringing people closer to Jesus Christ.
Our church has had the privilege to minister to people from every corner of Los Angeles! We've been able to host Bible Studies on college campuses, have outdoor church services, and even host community fellowship events to share the love of God.
Through these efforts, we aim to connect with our community, serve those around us, and share the Word of God. Furthermore, to better serve our Spanish-speaking community, we offer bilingual worship and preaching to share the good news with diverse people of Los Angeles
OUR BELIEFS
THE WORD OF GOD
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live (See 2 Tim 3:15-17).
WHO IS GOD?
There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. (See Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16).
SIN AND SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (See Acts 2:38, Rom 3.23-25; 6.23; Eph 2.8-9).
THE GOSPEL
The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (See 1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39)
CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians we strive to exemplify the words of Jesus Christ to love God with all our hearts, soul, mind, and strength. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. After receiving the Spirit, a Christian should demonstrate and walk in the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). The Holy Spirit is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts. Loving and serving people are essential marks of the Christian faith.
THE FUTURE
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (See I Thess 4:16-17; Rev 20:11-15
