Although the church is large (something like 4000 believers strong) there are so many services that you will never feel crowded at any one service. The average service is just a few hundred. If you join a group for study or social time, you are sure to make friends if you become a regular attender. |

Comments: | Lutheran Church of The Master is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), which has more than five million members in the United States, and is a congregation of the Southwest California Synod. The Lutheran Church of The Master is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. We acknowledge this reconciliation extends also to those whose affectional orientation is toward a person of the same gender. The rainbow candles in the east transept are a gift from Lutherans Concerned and are a symbol of Lutheran Church of The Master's affirmation of welcome for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people through the Reconciling in Christ program. All people are welcome at Lutheran Church of The Master and all Reconciling in Christ congregations. |

Comments: | Pacific Crossroads Church is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), and is supported by Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Whether you are new to Los Angeles, looking for a church home or just want a place to investigate God; we believe that for your experience to be meaningful, you'll need to find trusting relationships with people in a similar place as yourself. Pacific Crossroads is not the perfect church. We're far from perfect, and we hope, not very religious. We're just people trying to come to grips with God's grace. Our church is named Pacific Crossroads for a reason: for the peace God offers us, and for the crossroads where many of us find ourselves. We believe that God has given an answer for people at the crossroads: it's God's grace and peace, available to us through Jesus Christ. |
