what we believe
At Christian fellowship we believe in Bible-based preaching and teaching. We confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and believe in The Holy Trinity of God.
We believe that the church is the body of Christ and we observe the sacraments of holy communion and water baptism. It is not uncommon for our pastors to anoint members with oil during prayer or during the laying on of hands.
We are a congregational church. This means we are not governed by an outside body - every active member is responsible for the stewardship and responsibilities of the church. These members get to vote and have their voices heard as they work under the leadership of the pastor.
We are guided by The Word of God and our four pillars: honoring God, developing Christians, connecting people and loving everybody.
true fellowship
Our name says it all - we believe in the blessings of fellowship and the power of being part of a community of faith.
Christian Fellowship is not just our name, it's our way of life. We offer many opportunities to participate and engage with a beautiful community of believers.
We are currently rebuilding after a devastating arson fire that almost consumed our church and a dome restoration project that has taken serious efforts to complete. Through prayer and dedication, we are on the precipice of revival and we are looking for new members to join our community!
If you seek a neighborhood church with a pastor that knows your name and members who support one another through good and hard times, take the next step and get in touch with us!
our history
Founded in 1945, the Congregational Church of Christian Fellowship was born during a pivotal moment in American history. As Los Angeles emerged from World War II, Japanese American families were returning home after years of forced incarceration, while African Americans were laying the foundation for what would become the modern Civil Rights Movement.
In the midst of this changing social landscape, three pastors: Rev. Harold Kingsley, a white minister, Rev. Royden Suzu-Maga, a Japanese American minister serving families returning from the internment camps, and Rev. Raymond Booth, an African American minister, came together with a shared vision of Christian unity that transcended race and culture.
More than 80 years later, Christian Fellowship continues to build on that remarkable legacy by proclaiming the Gospel and welcoming all people.
