“Proclaiming Christ in San Gabriel Valley for over 99 Years”

Our purpose is to glorify God. We do so by developing a growing relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, as individuals, as families, as a community of believers. This relationship is possible because Jesus lived, died, and rose for us, enabling His spirit to live in and among us. His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, empowers us to be and do, as He desires. As Christ has shared His life with us, it is our joyful responsibility to share that life with one another and those beyond the church, especially those who identify with the Japanese American Community. Come learn with us what it means to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

There is something for everyone---as we reach out in service and love.
