What visitors say
Wonderfully kind, welcoming and enthusiastic group of people. The music was well-done, but not over-the-top. They had new members join the Sunday we were there, and one of them was baptized, which was sweet and moving. Diverse group of people. The sermon was biblical and proclaimed the Gospel. If we lived in the area, we would be be regular attenders or members. As a first-time visitor to Santa Monica while on vacation, I absolutely loved my visit to Pacific Crossroads Church! The church was warm and welcoming to me, and they definitely seem to have a heart for Jesus and for their community of Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area, doing service projects to serve those in need. I loved the opportunity to worship Jesus with a family of believers from many diverse cultures, taking Communion together, worshiping the Lord together, being edified by God’s Word, and lifting up the name of Jesus! Was deeply impacted by both the worship and outstanding message when visiting family in the area in February 2026 — incredible, moving, Christ- centered experience I love this church! I’ve been attending for about a month and a half now. I’m very reserved and I always attend by myself. I was welcomed by so many people they are so kind and so caring. I always feel welcomed even if I’m a bit more quiet. The message feels super to the point and we all share a love for the community in the church and as well as around us 🫶❤️ I'm in my 40's. The way I'd describe this church is like my parent's church or maybe even my parent's parent's church. And not because it's lacking any hipster coolness or relevance in that modern sense. But it's very much a studious, in-the-box Christianity from the 80-90's era. Things are sterile here. The worship is very technical (like get things right) but lacking heart and Spirit. I know, I know, it's Presbyterian. But yeah, it's very much that. Frozen chosen cringe. But I think that's why those who attend, remain. There may be a bit of nostalgia from past-time or perhaps comfort. It just feels like something these Christians are used to. It makes sense since the leadership picked a new pastor that aligns with this. The sermon was lots of logos, bereft of ethos and pathos. The redeeming part about this church, and I think why so many families are here, is that the children's and youth program are the true heart and soul of the church. I have friends here where Gloria has taken the time to become inclusive. P. Joe is also very down to earth and relevant. The youth enjoy being around him. This church is so out-of-place and out-of-time in 2023 post-covid, post-evangelical mileu. And no, I don't mean timeless. From an ops standpoint, they also need more signs, more people to welcome and direct new people. It feels very much like a "you should just know" culture for people who already show up there. The kids check-in system also seemed to utilize outdated software which was confusing for those running it. Overall faith is intellectualized here instead of embodied.
