Who We Are
| The Evangelical Free Church is an association of autonomous churches united by a mutual commitment to serve our Lord Jesus. The term evangelical refers to our commitment to evangelize, that is, tell others about Jesus. The term free means our local church is self-governing and free from outside rule: however, we still belong to a larger body of churches for support, resources, and shared beliefs. |

Our Beginnings
|
In 1959, a group of about 100 people from the Los Angeles Evangelical Free Church sensed God's leading to begin a new church in Playa del Rey, California. With a heavy burden on their hearts to show God's love to this neighborhood, the group purchased this land we stand on today and held their first worship service on August 30, 1959. This work is still alive today as the next generation of believers have continued to believe that God deserves to be worshipped here and desires to reach the community to show them how real He is and how amazing His love is for us all. |

Church Purpose
|
First and foremost, we exist to bring glory to God. We believe that God receives glory when we worship and obey Him. In the Bible, God has given us our marching orders, which we refer to as the Great Commission (see Matt. 28). This tells us that our purpose as a Church is to make disciples (fully devoted believers) who will in turn multiply themselves by making disciples. Simply put, our purpose is to "make disciples, who make disciples" as a way of life to bring glory to God. |
