About Us

relevant, Christian, multicultural

We are the English-language ministry of the First Evangelical Church of San Gabriel Valley. Originally, our congregation was considered a place for ethnic Chinese, whose primary language was English, to worship God. Today, we focus on being a multicultural and multi-generational community. This is a place to connect with people who are passionate about God. It doesn’t matter what your cultural background, age, marital status, or profession, you matter to God and you matter to us.

Our Services

What to Expect

What are services like?
i'm new We are not a "perfect" church with "perfect" people, but we are passionate about wanting to know God better and wanting others to know Him too. Join us for our celebration of who God is and enjoy the interaction with people who like hangin' together. Want to know what the service is like? We believe that this is the best hour and fifteen minutes you could spend on a Sunday morning. We sing, share, read Scripture, pray, and hear a message from the Bible that connects with real life. Want to know how you should dress? Our concern is not what kind of clothes you wear, only that you wear clothes. Casual dress for sure! Want to know what kind of music? We believe that any and every style of music can and should be employed to worship God. While you might find some older songs called hymns sung, we express our worship of God in modern songs, clapping, swaying, and generally showing that we are enthused about God. Want to know if the messages are boring? We believe that the Bible is actually very contemporary and directly relates to where we live. It was written for people like each of us. Our Pastor connects what the Bible is saying with our everyday life. You can decide when you come if the messages are boring. Tell us if they are. Want to know our connections? We are not connected with any denomination. You can also check our "what we believe." Want to know how to get connected? We have "Life Groups" where groups of people meet to learn about how the Bible applies to our everyday lives. Want to know more about how to get connected with God? Check out the link "wondering about God?" Want to know more about how you begin serving with us? Our vision is to help people become connected with God and one another, develop into devoted followers of Jesus and serve others. God has uniquely designed every believer to serve Him in special ways. We are committed to helping you to know what your unique God-given design is, how your passion for an area of ministry is connected to it, and the ways in which you can best serve in that area

What if I'm not a Christian?
wondering about God? Knowing your sins are forgiven and you are ready for heaven is as simple as the following steps: A. Admit you have sinned..... "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). B. Believe in Jesus..... "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). C. Confess and leave your sin..... "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). You might want to use the following prayer as a guide: Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I'm a sinner, and I'm sorry for my sin. Thank You for dying on the Cross for me. Please forgive me of my sin, and accept me as Your child. I desire to live for You, Jesus. Amen. Congratulations on becoming a part of God's forever family. Obviously this is only a first step. Should you like to know more about your decision please contact us.
