What visitors say
Visited for the first time this morning. Epicenter West LA church seems to be a younger generation, 20s and 30s very popular. Here’s a little information about my visit. Parking: Street— I arrived a few minutes late and was still able to find parking along the street. This church meets at a synagogue across the street from Trader Joe’s. They have a small sign out front which is the only indicator that Epicentre meets there. Welcoming: from the moment I walked up the stairs, I was greeted by Lauren and Kenter. They were both super welcoming and super sweet. They seemed so happy to be greeting visitors and regular comers alike. We exchanged words for a few minutes and they gave me a name tag. Most people wear a name tag at the church. If you leave your visitor badge with your name as you exit, they will make you a permanent badge for when you return. The badges are all placed on a large board at the entrance of the church so you do not forget it from Sunday to Sunday. Kinda cool concept and very helpful to remember people’s names. Worship: Lights were dimmed and the worship team with about five members did a great job with the music. I really enjoyed the songs and still have one that I’ve never heard stuck in my head. A few people lifted hands but does not seem to be the norm. Pretty small congregation but I understand there are a lot of people out sick this week so they say they may be missing about 30 or 40 people. Sermon: The message was brought by a young pastor name Steve. It was very short, probably about 15 minutes or less. Apparently the pastor and his whole family are out ill with the flu this week. We went back into worship and sang a few of the same songs we sang through the worship time. Between worship and the sermon, a young man came up and gave the announcements and provided information about the church as well as the Epicenter app they use to transmit information throughout the congregation. Snack and chat: They had a very cool concept and which I’ve never seen in a church. They provided snacks and encouraged people to hang around to visit and socialize. Lauren and Kenter came after service and brought me a little gift for visitors and we chatted again for a bit during snack and chat. Very sweet couple. I met the girl sitting behind me her name was, Shina. Life Groups: I went to visit the wall which has the connect groups locations and was greeted by a young doctor from UCLA carrying a baby. (Again, so friendly!) He explained the various groups. There did not seem to be one for my age group really (40s/single) but there seem to be plenty of groups for the younger generation and one even for married people. This was a friendly church, probably one of the friendliest churches I have ever attended. I would highly recommend it for the younger generation although it doesn’t feel like there’s much of a group my age. Seems to be multicultural although the largest population seems to be Asian. I would absolutely recommend this church to someone looking around for a home. Everyone was so friendly which makes it much easier to connect. Epicentre West LA has an incredibly devoted and inviting group of Christ followers. My wife and I started going to this church upon moving to West LA. We could not be happier with our decision. This church has brought us closer to God and provided us with a community of believers that help us feel like we're a part of something greater. There are no stuffy traditions or hypocrisy at this church. We are invited to come as we are and to love one another as Christ has loved us. Hope to see you here! I've been a part of a church my whole life and many different ones as my wife and I have moved around the US and lived in various countries. That said, we've been attending Epicentre West LA for a while now and can say that we feel really welcome here. The community is still small (church just started in February) but very welcoming. The pastor gives challenging sermons, grounded in Scripture, and always makes sure to make it relevant to life. We don't have kids, but know there's an excellent children's program. I also like that they're focused on meeting in "Lifegroups" during the week and have enjoyed being part of one of them. This is a great place to grow in your faith. Love this church! The moment my girlfriend and I arrived we felt welcomed. Afterwards we looked at each other and said that this church immediately felt like home. People are so passionate in worship, and preaching is super applicable and down to earth. Also, there's food after! They really focus on community and life groups so we'll be checking that out for sure. This has been my church since 2015. I felt welcome right away and had so many people engage with me and care about me. I love how this church has grown and how it encourages its member to truly dive into their community and love this city.
