This is by far the worst church you could ever go to…read more Everyone on their staff is fake and judgmental. They are awful people. Who will smile in your face and gossip about you. They are not doing God's work at all here, they are actually breaking down people and sending people away from God. They call themselves Christian's here but it's really just a bunch of lip service- Look at some of these other reviews, a lot of other people have gone through what I'm saying. It looks great at first until you realize soon enough what's going on. This church is super cliquey and have no problem with making people feel left out unless you do what they want you to do. This is very much the kind of place where their leadership pretends they're devoted to God to use that to make $$$ - because they are not genuine at all. Their actions say everything. They are sick people sooooo many people have left this church. I was a member of this church for years- through those years I had severe depression. I didn't have depression before I started attending this church and interesting enough the depression lifted as soon as I got away from these people. To this day I will say sometimes I have ptsd from my experiences at this church. The amount of control they exert by saying "God told me to tell you" you know...those kind of folks. When really it's them trying to control your life. They have themselves so convinced they are people of God when they are the complete opposite. Stay far away from this church. You'll thank me later.

The music and messages at Mosaic are great, but I came looking for community and found none. In the…read moremonth I've been attending, I haven't received so much as a friendly hello. The service I attended wasn't even live--the pastor was speaking at another location, and we were just watching a livestream. I could have done that at home. Yet, they repeatedly asked for donations throughout the service. Afterward, I tried to socialize, but the "church social" was basically a paid food truck festival. Most churches offer some kind of free fellowship time, so this felt really odd. On top of that, when I first walked in, they were pulling people one by one to sit in the front row--probably for the cameras. Between the lack of community, the transactional feel, and the focus on appearances, it just doesn't feel like a real church. I won't be returning.

I would strongly advise against attending this church, especially if you're considering bringing…read moreyouth or vulnerable individuals into their environment. Back in 2017, I witnessed multiple concerning incidents that left a lasting negative impression. One of the earliest red flags was their outreach approach--representatives from this church would visit local high schools during lunch, enticing students with promises of free pizza, only to preach to them once the room was full. This kind of manipulation is not only unethical but deeply disrespectful to students' time and autonomy. That same year, they invited an internet personality--Woah Vicky--during a school lunch event. It was a confusing and frankly irresponsible decision, considering she is not a positive role model for young people. The situation escalated into a physical fight, putting several students in harm's way. What was most troubling was the presence of a young girl named Dynasty, who appeared to be neurodivergent and likely on the autism spectrum (though I cannot say for certain). She was caught in the chaos, and it was clear that bringing her into such an unstable situation was reckless and lacking any kind of appropriate supervision or sensitivity. Another deeply disturbing moment involved a very young child--around six years old--who fell and cracked her head open during a church event. I saw no safety protocols in place, no medical professional onsite, and instead of proper care or even a call to emergency services, the child and her sister were quietly taken home. This kind of negligence should never happen, especially when dealing with minors. Perhaps the most insidious issue was how the church involved youth in adult matters--conversations and drama that were far beyond what any child or teenager should be exposed to. Looking back as an adult, I can see clearly how inappropriate and damaging this was. The emotional and psychological consequences of this environment still linger for many who were involved. This church has caused more harm than good in the lives of those it claimed to serve. Please think twice before engaging with this organization. Protect your peace, protect your children, and seek a place that prioritizes safety, integrity, and actual spiritual growth. This is not it.

After visiting Evergreen Church the first few times, I quickly realized that it was a place where I…read morecould stop pretending I was ok and start to actually heal. I spent those first weeks in the back sitting on the floor crying. I felt so free and just ok to be myself for once. It has definitely been a hospital for me. It's been 3 years now and I'm so grateful that I was introduced to this community. I've grown spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I'm still growing and figuring myself out but where I am now is without a doubt due to Jesus Christ and the heavy presence he places over this church. The amazing leadership team at Evergreen take their own personal relationships with Jesus very seriously and it makes me trust them so much more. If you're looking to get more involved in the community, I highly recommend checking out all of the greenhouse groups and see which one works for you. Also look into the volunteer teams! I joined the prayer walk team for a time and that is where I made a lot of friends. I'm looking to see where else I can be of use because I seriously love this community and see myself staying here for a long time. I wanna grow with this place.

The entire pastoral and leadership team are sold-out lovers of Christ, and their authenticity is undeniable. From the moment I stepped into this church, I was overwhelmed by the love of God through the Holy Spirit--I instantly knew I had found my church home. Deep calls out to deep. Like anything worthwhile in life, building community takes effort. If you're looking for connection, I strongly encourage you to start volunteering right away. That's how you meet the "good eggs"--the ones who value serving, consistency, and commitment, just as Christ's love compels us to show up for one another. Think of it like planting a tree: roots are necessary for fruit to grow. Attending once or twice and making a judgment doesn't do justice to what this church has to offer. Plug in, get to know people. You can't microwave friendships or a sense of belonging. But according to scripture when you refresh others, Jesus refreshes you--and serving is one powerful way to experience that. If you're visiting for the first time, welcome. I hope you'll take that next step and get involved. Life isn't easy, in fact Jesus warned us there will be trials and tribulation, but He has overcome. Finding people who draw from His well of life is a rare gem, but I've met some of the most solid, faith-filled people here at Evergreen LA. From a city of Angels Native, Amy & God bless you!
