The Abiding is a church that loves Jesus, People, and the city of Los Angeles.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

John 15:4-5

Our Core Values

What is The Abiding all about?

The Gospel is the story of hope found in the Bible about Jesus Christ’s life, message, death, and resurrection. We believe this good news is for everyone to hear and that God invites all people of all places to join his story, family, and redemptive work in the world. In everything we do, we aim to keep this message front and center. The Gospel is the essence of our gathering.

Preach the Gospel.

The Abiding Church is a family where you will experience deep fellowship, belonging, and love

Jesus’ final command to his followers before leaving earth was to “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). We understand this discipleship process to encompass biblical teaching,
fellowship, repentance, and service to our local community.

Make Disciples.

Our church frequently serves the homeless on Skid Row

Members of the church, as ambassadors of Christ, are meant to represent God’s image to the world. In the Bible, Jesus sets an example of this responsibility by serving groups that society often passed over. For our church, we present plenty of opportunities to minister to the city of Los Angeles through evangelism, disaster relief, and homeless ministry.

Serve the City.

We know you will find a family if you visit our church

No family is perfect, and let’s be real, neither is ours. By stepping into our honest faith community, you will find broken people from all walks of life who bear one another up in love. We would not have it any other way. The whole point of the church is to pursue Jesus together, failures and victories included. Anyone that joins our family will receive prayer, encouragement, belonging, and unconditional love.

Be a Family.

God has called us to be his hands and feet in the city of Los Angeles, California.
