A little more about us
We are a small group of Christians who meet weekly to pursue Jesus in community. Our gatherings consist of singing worship songs, taking communion, discussion and prayer. All of our voices matter, and we want to use our time to interact with each other. Instead of listening to a sermon in a group setting, we use our time together to actively participate in a spiritual practice or by discussing a sermon or podcast that is sent out and listened to during the week.
The final Sunday of each month is a social gathering, instead of a church gathering. These are opportunities to build community, which is a big part of the heart of our church! Check out our Meetup Group to see any upcoming events.
We currently meet in a home as a vibrant, but tiny, house church. In 2025, we will move into a coffee shop in Northeast LA. Our vision is to help make the coffee shop a space of community and belonging, with regular community events and an inclusive, inviting and interactive weekly church gathering.
At Bloom Church, we believe in…
God
We believe in the God of the Bible – creator, son and Holy Spirit – and seek God in all aspects of our lives
Scripture
We value the Bible as a way to know God’s heart and history, while honoring interpretation as complex
Discipleship
We seek to follow the example of Jesus in the way we live, treat others, and impact our communities
That’s it…
We aim to keep things pretty simple. The reality is, there are many beliefs across our members. These are the ones that bind us together. Instead of unfolding a laundry list of theological beliefs, we are committed to seeking Jesus with open hearts and trust each other to do the same. We expect to have differing views on social and political issues, but to seek to learn from and journey with each other, with the help of the Spirit, through those differences.
Join us in building community!
Fill out the form below if you’d like to learn more and join us for an upcoming church gathering. We’d also love for you to join us in building community in the East LA area. In 2025, we plan to fill our new coffee shop home with community building events. For now, we are building community where we can, whether that be board game nights, book clubs, bar trivia, or hikes. What event would you like to help plan and host?
