The Renewed Church Of Los Angeles 3.95

Why is RENEWED CHURCH HERE?

We accept everyone into our faith community with unconditional love. Jesus broke down the barriers that separated people into acceptable and unacceptable, worthy and unworthy, “clean” and “unclean”, righteous and sinner. The only requirement necessary to connect with God is a willingness to open one’s heart to receive God’s unconditional love and forgiveness, or what is termed grace. Any faith community that excludes, divides, judges, or is intolerant, is doing so outside of the model given to us by Jesus.

We believe the search for understanding the mystery of God is more important than having absolute answers, and is more important than church doctrine, dogma, and tradition. Many churches demand that you believe certain things about God and/or Jesus in order to be acceptable. A progressive approach to faith finds more benefit in the journey of faith, less in the conclusions of faith communities.

We believe that how we treat one another is the fullest expression of what we accept as true. The truest expression of God’s love is through service to others. The majority of Jesus’ ministry related to issues of social justice. Therefore we ought to follow his example and embrace opportunities that allow us to restore those who are marginalized or oppressed.
