"One slowly becomes what one fills one’s mind with, or one becomes what one apprehends or gazes upon… In the last analysis, the enjoyment of Christ is what drives out the enjoyment of sin, for the former causes the believer to lose his appetite for the latter.”
—Brian Kay

Welcome to Pacific Crossroads Church Whether you are looking for a church home or just want a place to investigate God, we welcome you! Pacific Crossroads Church is not a place. It is a people. A people called to worship the living God and sent to give witness to the good news that God accepts us as we are, not as we should be. Our vision is to be an authentic community manifesting the presence and reign of Jesus Christ throughout Los Angeles through personal transformation, social justice, and cultural renewal.

"Our culture, especially Los Angeles, is centered on the consumption of food, movies, music, clothes, television, and cars. It would be silly for us to claim that we shouldn’t enjoy God’s gifts, but I think Kay points us toward a visceral way that Christians can and should be set apart. He calls us to be consumed with Christ. If we contemplate the power of his word, if we gaze at his face through the eyes of those we serve, and if we actually taste his love and grace, then we develop a hunger for him. Over time, God transforms our desires so that our primary longing is for Christ. It is a sweet relief having my material cravings start to dissipate as I’m filled up by something that finally satisfies."
—Laura Love, member Pacific Crossroads
