Churches

Finding a Church family in your new location can sometimes be difficult. It is important to find a Church where you feel comfortable to interact and be spiritually fed, and locate the church you feel God is leading you to.

The Spiritual Life department lists some churches close to Biola without necessarily endorsing them. However, to make sure you find a church with an environment that feels like home, we have included a list of some ethnic churches in the area that you could explore.

Ivan Chung suggests as a church index and resource for Asian, Latino, African American, White American, and Multiethnic churches in the Los Angeles area: http://www.djchuang.com/on/churches/

This list was checked for accuracy April 2010. Please report any errors/omissions/comments to the International Student Services office. Note: this list is for reference use only. Biola University does not endorse any of the churches listed herein.
