We are delighted to welcome you to our Christian community where everyone, regardless of background or identity, is a cherished part of God's diverse family.  Here at First Baptist Church of Los Angeles, we celebrate every person as a unique and beloved creation, affirming all paths and identities on our shared spiritual journey.  Come as you are, for your story, your questions and your authentic self are not just accepted, but truly valued in our inclusive and affirming church family.  We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory.

First Baptist Church of Los Angeles, founded in  1874, is a member of the historic American Baptist Churches, established in 1636 in early colonial America, with churches throughout North America and with Global Mission work throughout the world.  
 
We believe in living faithfully to God and to Christ with a separation of Church and State, with a prophetic voice for justice and grace, with a clarity of belief that is founded upon the Biblical narrative of Holy Scripture,
with primary focus on Jesus Christ as risen, victorious, living Lord and Savior, and with faith in the Holy Trinity of God, the Creator/Redeemer (the Father), Jesus Christ (the Son) and the Holy Spirit.

OUR CALL AS A CONGREGATION

We are called to be a community of faith, a welcome table, that celebrates the rich diversity of its membership as it serves and honors the diverse cultural and ethnic nature of Los Angeles and surrounding communities.  We are called to be deeply grounded in the Word and Witness through the power of the Holy Spirit, being a prophetic voice for  justice, healing and transformation.  We are called to manifest the love of Christ as we share our various sources of capital with the community as well as being a witness to God's reign through celebrative worship and care for one another.
First Baptist Church of Los Angeles is a place where people can meet Jesus,  engage in life-giving community,  and be loved, appreciated and welcome. 
We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory.

II Corinthians 5:17-21 
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,  the new creation  has come: The old has gone, the new is here!   18 All this is from God,  who reconciled us to himself through Christ  and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:  19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.  And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.  20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,  as though God were making his appeal through us.  We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.   21 God made him who had no sin  to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
