Who We Are
The opening sentence of the Bible tells us that God is an artist and the creator of all beauty. God made humanity to be the pinnacle of his creation, wanting us to both experience beauty and participate in it. To encounter pure beauty is to encounter Jesus Christ, his life, his love, and his work. When we encounter Jesus and follow him, we ourselves become new creations, renewed characters in his story. We invite you to join us on this beautiful journey.
New Creation is devoted to journeying with Jesus, cultivating community, and a flourishing Los Angeles.

What We Believe
Though our church is relatively new, it is not new in its beliefs and practices. We are part of the Great Tradition of historic Christianity, which is rooted in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and is summarized in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds.
We are a member of the Presbyterian Church in America, a family of churches in the reformed tradition whose unifying beliefs are summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We deeply value the collaboration, accountability, and visible expression of the gospel that comes through connection to other churches.
