FAQs
We warmly welcome you to the church in Long Beach. We are believers in Christ from all backgrounds who gather locally to be the Lord's testimony in Long Beach. We have listed some frequently asked questions below.
01
I'm looking for fellowship, but I'm not ready to attend a Sunday meeting yet. Can someone visit me or call me?
Absolutely. Attending a Sunday meeting is not the only way to have fellowship with us. If you leave your contact information on the form below we will be sure to contact you promptly and in a manner that makes you most comfortable.
02
How can I become a member of your church?
We have no formal membership process. We believe that once you become a spiritual member of the Body of Christ by repenting and believing into Jesus Christ, you are a member of the church (Rom. 12:5).
03
What can I expect when I come to a meeting?
You should expect a warm welcome and to meet some joyful Christians. We love to sing with our hearts to the Lord and to speak to one another in psalms and hymns (Eph.5:19). Our gatherings are characterized by mutuality: we encourage praise, prayer, and testimonies from one another. Our only goal is to worship the Lord in spirit and truthfulness (John 4:24).
04
What do I do when I arrive?
We encourage you to come a few minutes early so our ushers can help you find where you are going. If you need to check in your kids, it will give you time to get to know other families. We hope you will fill out our visitor card, which allows us to connect with you to one of our small groups.
05
What should I wear?
We have no dress code, and we simply encourage you to be led by the Spirit in all things (Rom. 8:14).
06
Who is your pastor?
While there are many who serve as shepherds and teachers among us, including the elders of the church, along with others who have the spiritual gift of shepherding and teaching (Eph. 4:11; 1 Pet. 5:1-3; Acts 20:28), all Christians have the innate capacity to contact God, worship God, be filled with God, pray to God, speak for God, and represent God (Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 14:31; 1 Pet. 2:9; Rom. 1:9).
07
What denomination are you?
We are not part of any denomination. We seek to follow the New Testament pattern set up and ordained by God according to the principle of the New Testament revelation.
