The History of Del Rey Church
On October 4, 1958, a group of about 100 Christians from the Los Angeles Evangelical Free Church decided to start a new church in Playa del Rey, California. Later that year, the land for the church was purchased, and on August 30, 1959, the first church service was held.
By 1963, the church had grown to 172 people in weekly attendance. In the 1970's, the church seemed to explode in population with over 400 weekly in attendance. In the 80's and 90's, the church attendance had dropped below 100 people. Entering into the new millennium, we began to see what appears to be the start of a great work God is doing in the hearts of the people in this church and community.
God has given all believers a Great Commission to “make disciples” of the world and He has placed the Del Rey Church here to fulfill this task in this small corner of the earth. One day in the future, Christ Jesus has promised to return and until then the Del Rey Church will be here doing His work.
