It is fantastic to have a church community outside of our church environment. I have made great friends. And I will have them life and in heaven.

Finally--a real biblical church that doesn't shut down or back down: CHRISTIAN WARRIORS, rise up at…read moreRestoration Life Christian Church! In this messed-up world getting darker every day, without Christians shining as the light, nobody sees real hope or truth. Jesus said it straight: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden... let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16). We're called to be salt and light--not sitting quiet, but bold. Christianity ain't just some peaceful religion; we serve a God who's a warrior for justice. "The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name" (Exodus 15:3). We fight spiritual battles, not flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and we're geared up to stand firm. Life is sacred from the jump--pro-life is straight Bible. God forms us in the womb: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb... Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me" (Psalm 139:13-16). He hates innocent blood shed (Proverbs 6:16-17), and tells us to rescue those headed to death (Proverbs 24:11-12). Restoration Life Christian Church is a blazing light right here in Los Angeles--modern Sodom--refusing to bow to the darkness. Shoutout to the warriors there proclaiming truth unashamed! Who's standing with them? #ChristianWarriors #ProLife #BiblicalTruth

What a blessing to be attending this wonderful church since 1998 with my husband. While we were…read moresearching for a home in 1998 we were also praying for a church. Little did we know God blessed us with one literally right next door to our new home. We are so thankful to Gardena Valley Baptist Church, the pastors, staff and the children's ministry. The children's ministry have played a huge part in helping shaped our daughters lives from when they were infants to now (last year in high school). As parents it's so important to have a community that's there for support and partnering with us parents to help raise our future generations in the Lord. Our church has expanded and we've seen many changes throughout the years but one thing is certain, our God is moving mightily in our church. He is moving in the hearts of His people. We pray for revival not just in our church but for all over the world. May we pray to have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to obey. May we as congregation be a church that love and serve others just as Christ loved us. May we seek and surrender to God's will in our lives. May we partner with the Holy Spirit allowing him to teach, lead and guide us each day to live in obedience as well as sharing the gospel boldly with those he's put in our paths. If you are reading this review and would like more information about our wonderful church please feel free to reach out! I don't believe in accident, God has a beautiful way of bringing his people together.

I am so grateful to be able to call Gardena Valley Baptist my home church. Recently, Pastor Daniel…read moreMatsuda was installed as our new senior pastor. His vision for helping our congregation change from the inside out is making a difference in the lives of people in our congregation. Rather than having individuals just focus on changing behaviors or to do "good works", he is encouraging us to spend daily quality time with God, reading His Word and talking with Him. The overflow of that deepening, intimate relationship and love for God is the impetus for wanting to please Him and to live out our faith. We are so blessed to not only have a pastoral staff who inspire us through wonderful Biblical teaching, but who encourage us to use our spiritual gifts to serve one another and work together with us to build up the body of Christ. Whatever your life stage, this is a place where you can find connection and support. We are so fortunate to be an intergenerational church. The older generation have great wisdom and experience to share with those younger and the younger have new ideas and energy to benefit the body at GVBC. They have an excellent Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, a growing College/Young adult group, and Women's Ministry. Their Re-Engage program supports married couples whether you are newly married or have been married for a long time. They also offer community small groups for all life stages that meet weekly to learn together as well as to get prayer and support. (These are key opportunities to translate what we hear on Sunday mornings into how we live our everyday lives at home, at school, with our families, friends and at church). GVBC does their best to balance nurturing their church family while also not forgetting to focus outward as well. They try to share God's love by doing outreach and loving their local community as well as supporting those who are doing the same thing overseas. The "Fun with Friends" or the "Prime Timers" (senior) group utilize their gift of hospitality to plan social events where you can meet new people and can invite your friends to have fun and do the same. GVBC is not a perfect church because a perfect church does not exist. We are imperfect people, who are redeemed by God's incredible grace and mercy, and empowered by His Spirit to share that love with others. We make mistakes, but hopefully, we can learn from them, and then humbly move forward.

Unfortunately to me it seems like a Jim Jones church. The parking lot was completely on lockdown…read moreno way in no way out., I go there to pick up my son. There's absolutely no parking so I park in the driveway where there's three cars illegally parked so I park in front of them waiting for my son to come out, as I'm waiting I'm approached by two gatekeepers or car police not sure what they were, and hey never identified themselves but I felt like I was doing something illegal. I was unaware that this church owned the public sidewalk and street. Luckily my son got to me before I made any contact with whoever they thought they were. not sure if this is a communist church or what I didn't get a friendly vibe.
