About Us
Our Story Is About God’s Faithfulness
We exist to love people toward Jesus and to practice what the Bible says—together, every day.
Who We Are
Lake LA Baptist Church is a family of imperfect people following a perfect Savior. We gather to worship, open the Bible, pray, and serve our neighbors— not to build a name for ourselves, but to make much of Jesus. Our desire is simple: to hear God’s Word and do it, as a way of life.
Christ-Centered
Everything we are flows from who Jesus is and what He has done.
Bible-Practicing
We don’t just say we believe the Bible—we aim to practice it consistently.
People-Loving
We welcome, disciple, and send people to love others as Christ has loved us.
Our History
By God’s grace, Lake LA Baptist Church began as a small gathering of believers who simply wanted to worship, pray, and share the gospel in Lake Los Angeles. Through ordinary seasons of faithfulness—meeting in homes, opening the Scriptures, serving neighbors—the Lord has led us step by step. Our story is not about a brand or a method; it is the testimony of God forming a people by His Word, for His glory, and for the good of our community.
We continue to trust Jesus to build His church as we follow Him with humility, hold fast to Scripture, and love those He places in our path.
Our Beliefs
We confess that the Bible is our final authority—not as a slogan, but as a practice. We strive to order our lives, our church, and our decisions by the plain teaching of Scripture. For that reason, our condensed doctrinal statement is composed of Bible verses, and our unabridged doctrinal statement is the entire Bible.
