First Congregational Church of Los Angeles is a progressive, positive, and open church with a strong arts and music culture. They welcome and celebrate those of all faith traditions, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
The Sunday morning worship service at First Church is a richly textured experience. Their service is traditional in structure, but they bring together the arts – music, literature, poetry, painting – as well as science and religious texts – to create a joyful experience of community. Each Sunday they engage the heart and mind, believing that faith and reason are essential to the spiritual journey.
First Church is a vital, diverse and multi-generational community of faith. People of all ages – children, families of all configurations, young professionals, seniors, and everyone in between, come together in an authentic experience of Christian community. They celebrate compassion, diversity and inclusivity, respecting people wherever they may be on the journey.
First Church lives in the deeply held value that every human being is a child of God, and that they are called to open the doors of their church as wide as God’s heart. Their values of faith, rooted in the life of Jesus, continue to be forged by the contemporary issues of our time.
As the oldest Protestant Church in the city of Los Angeles, First Congregational Church celebrates the many diverse religious voices in the city, even as they seek to embody the spirit of Jesus by loving their neighbor as themselves.
