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.
What to expect
We are a small group of Christians who meet weekly to pursue Jesus in community. We meet on Sundays in the community room at ROCK Coffee House in Eagle Rock (4804 Townsend Ave, Los Angeles). Doors open at 4 pm for coffee and chatting, and our meeting kicks off at 4:30 pm.
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.
FAQ
What’s the parking situation? There is only street parking nearby, so if you’re driving here, give yourself an extra few minutes to find a spot and walk over.
Can I bring my pet? Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the building due to health department regulations. Only certified, trained and well-behaved service animals are allowed in the space.
What about kids? Because our gatherings are primarily interactive, we eagerly welcome all ages and development levels to participate. Feel free to bring coloring supplies or quiet toys. We just ask that no one (of any age) is hiding behind a screen, using anything that makes noises, or wandering into other rooms in the building.
There’s free coffee starting at 4 pm? Yes! Great coffee, at that. Roasted by Cafe de Leche and brewed on-site by our host cafe. BYOM – bring your own mug recommended. You are also welcome to order anything from the adjacent cafe.
