🙏 The Meaning of Christmas
The Christmas story isn't just about a historical event; it's about the eternal truth that God came to dwell among us.
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God with us’)."

💖 How Can I Share Generosity This Christmas?
November and December in America are often marked by a spirit of generosity, a desire to give back and support meaningful causes. But can this generosity extend to our commitment to the Kingdom of God? The answer is a resounding yes!
This year, your Legacy Offering (End-of-Year Giving) is a powerful opportunity to partner with us in the most important mission: bringing people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ for the glory of God.
Every gift you give will be divided to support three distinct ministries that are actively focused on salvations in our city and across the globe:
- Union Rescue Mission: Your gift supports their vital work in downtown Los Angeles, providing hope, housing, and spiritual care to neighbors experiencing homelessness. They are a frontline ministry for physical and spiritual transformation.
- Our Efforts in Sri Lanka through the SoCal Network: This funding is directly dedicated to global missions focused on church planting and discipleship in Sri Lanka. Your gift helps provide resources to share the Gospel and establish thriving communities of faith.
- Heart Coffee: This investment aids in the launch of The Heart LA's Coffee Ministry in 2026. This storefront will be open throughout the week, serving as a clean, safe, and welcoming community hub—a strategic launchpad for spiritual conversations and ministry within our neighborhood.
This Christmas, as we celebrate the ultimate gift of Emmanuel, consider sowing a generous seed into these three impactful ministries. Your giving directly fuels salvations and advances the Kingdom of God!
Our goal is to raise $20,000 this holiday season to support this vital work. You can check out more details about our end-of-the-year giving opportunities at our Welcome Center or on our website!
