Our Story

How it all started...

Since I was a teenager, the dream was always in my heart to pioneer a church that would bring hope, healing, and blessing to a region.

While I was finishing my degree at Talbot Theological Seminary and serving as an Associate Pastor in Orange County, I had an unexpected vision about a spiritual awakening coming to the South Bay of Los Angeles. It impacted me deeply.

With the full blessing of our home church, a few friends joined our launch team and we had our first service on May 5th, 2013.
We started with a little over a dozen people. The church began to grow quickly.  We met in dance studios, event centers, cafes, and used other church buildings. In 2017, we built out a warehouse space in south Torrance and converted it into a worship center with a cafe and classrooms.

In early 2023, we had an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and we couldn't go back to business as usual.
We have been in a special move of God ever since.

We moved our Sunday Services to larger venues for a season.  However, in the summer of 2025, we took a larger warehouse space about 120 feet from our original space. A brand new sanctuary and prayer room was built and we dedicated the space on November 2nd, 2025.  Meanwhile, our original building was converted into a family center for our children and youth ministries.
What makes Jesus Center such a special place is that we are a family made up of amazing people from various ethnicities, who love Jesus and one another. We are a house of prayer. We love the Presence of God. And we have been relentless in our pursuit of Jesus and the souls He died for.
