Welcome to Your New Community

Every Sunday, we gather in downtown Los Angeles to learn more about God and the new story He's writing in all of our lives. We're a diverse community passionate about authentic faith, real relationships, and reaching our city together. Come as you are - we can't wait to meet you.

YOUR FIRST SUNDAY

We are so glad you’re here!

Arrive 15 minutes early. Several parking lots and street parking options available. Look for friendly faces with NewStory name tags - they'll help you find your way.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What to Expect

What should I wear?
Come as you are! You'll see everything from jeans and sneakers to business casual. We care more about your heart than your outfit.
How long is the service?
About 60 minutes including live worship music and a practical, relevant message from the Bible - we start on time and wrap up efficiently so you can plan your Sunday.
What about my kids?
We love families! We have safe, fun environments for infants through high school with background-checked volunteers. Kids check-in is straightforward - just head to the right as you walk in the building.
College age and young adults?
We have a thriving young adult community! Whether you're in college, starting your career, or just navigating your twenties, you'll find people in similar life stages. We have specific groups and events designed for young adults to connect and grow together.
Is there food and coffee?
Yes! Free coffee is always available, plus our friends at Jetty Coffee Roasters (walking distance) have specialty drinks like cappuccinos and matcha for purchase.

We also offer snacks after 9 AM service and lunch for purchase after 11 AM service.
What if I'm not sure what I believe?
Perfect! Questions are welcome here. We're all figuring it out together, and there's no judgment for being in a different place spiritually.
Will I have to stand up or speak?
Nope! There's no pressure to participate beyond your comfort level. You can observe, participate, or just soak it all in.

SUNDAY SERVICE

What Happens During Service

Worship that Moves You
We start with live, contemporary music that creates space to encounter God. Whether you sing out or soak it in, you’re invited to engage in a way that’s real for you.

Messages that Matter
Every message is rooted in Scripture and speaks to everyday life—challenging, encouraging, and pointing you toward Jesus.

A Place to Belong
You’ll find a welcoming community that’s authentic and intentional. No pressure to have it all together—but we believe God meets us powerfully when we show up.

Take a Look for Yourself

Not sure what to expect? The best way to get a feel for NewStory is to experience it. Watch a recent message to see how we teach, what we value, and how faith meets everyday life—or join us live this weekend and see for yourself.
