While we may not celebrate in person due to COVID-19, we are thankful to God
for blessing our church for 34 years. May He continue to do so in the years to
come for God’s glory!
When
Will We Reopen Our In-Person Sunday Service? On May 26, the County of Los Angeles Health Officer issued a
Revised Order, under which, attending in-person faith-based services is now
permitted but with strict restrictions. Our Elder Board has decided, for many
important reasons, that our church, including HOA, will be patient and wait for
better conditions before resuming our in-person Sunday service. For details
please read our Senior Pastor’s letter to our Church Family on May 28, which is
on our church’s website.
