We as a church want to reflect those characteristics of Jesus. Every community needs a church like that.</p><p>The Long Beach Church wants to be the kind of church that:</p><p>⢠Makes you feel welcome through every interaction.</p><p>⢠Allows you to feel comfortable being you â just as you are.</p><p>⢠Presents the Bible in a way that makes sense and can be applied in your daily life.</p><p>⢠Encourages you to grow in your own personal relationship with Jesus.</p><p>⢠Helps you easily connect with a smaller group of people and grow with them spiritually (when you are ready).</p><p>⢠Reflects and prioritizes our local community as we partner in the struggles, opportunities and objectives of the local area.</p><p>We want to be a place where people can belong. A safe place to rest, explore, search, and grow through relationship. </p><p>We want to accept people as they are and allow them to experience the grace and love that we received from Jesus and His mercy. </p><p>We want to be a church that intentionally creates a safe place for the âothersâ. This will be uncomfortable at times, it will be messy at times and it will always challenge the status quo, but thatâs ok, Jesusâ ministry looked like that!</p><p>We must fight the natural gravitational pull of the church inward. We canât circle the wagons and allow church to become all about us. We must stay outwardly oriented and focused.</p><p>We must have pathways to discovery, growth and discipleship. </p><p>We must create opportunities to connect and serve. </p><p>We must realize and embrace the reality that discipleship, change and growth happen in community, through relationships, not knowledge alone. </p><p>We must worship and follow Jesus. We donât need to substitute that with worshipping the Bible. The Bible is an inspired tool that is to be used to help us follow Jesus, not something to worship. Knowledge informs us, guides us, but it doesnât save us, only Jesus can do that.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></section><section class="row quote-row brandbg -align-default " > <div class="row-inner"> <div class="container"> <div class="quote-wrap"> <blockquote > <div class=" ">"In matters of faith, unity; in matters of opinion, liberty; in all things 'love'."</div> </blockquote> <div class="source " >Alexander Campbell</div> </div></div> </div></section><section class="row basic-row lightbg -align-default " > <div class="row-inner"> <div class="container"> <div class="row-defaults "> <div class="row-defaults-wrap" style="text-align:default; "> <h3 class="row-title default fx-default" style="font-weight: default; text-align: default;" >Our Heritage</h3> <div class="row-text default fx-default" style="font-weight: default; text-align: left;" ><p>Long Beach Church is a non-denominational church rooted in the early 19th-century Restoration Movement (also called the StoneâCampbell Movement). That movement produced groups such as the Church of Christ, Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, and the United Church of Christ. Long Beach Church traces its origins to the Churches of Christ branch of that movement.</p><p>The Restoration Movement sought to answer Jesusâ prayer for unity among his followers: âthat all of them may be oneâ (John 17:20â21). Its founders hoped Christians would be united around core Scriptural teachings while allowing freedom of opinion on secondary matters, restoring the early Churchâs unity. Over time, however, later generations sometimes drifted from those founding ideals and divisions arose.</p><p>At Long Beach Church we value cooperation with other believers to pursue shared goals while remaining an independent, local congregation. As an autonomous church, our decisions and direction are governed locallyâno external body exercises authority over our church.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></section><section class="row quote-row brandbg -align-default " > <div class="row-inner"> <div class="container"> <div class="quote-wrap"> <blockquote > <div class=" ">"We are Christians only, not the only Christians."</div> </blockquote> <div class="source " >Alexander Campbell</div> </div></div> </div></section><section class="row image-columns-row -no-defaults image-type-landscape lightbg row-color-match -align-default " > <div class="row-inner"> <div class="container"> <div class="row-content"> <div class="row-column column-twelve image-type-landscape"> <div class="row-column-wrap"> <div class="image "> <img class="main" src="https://thechurchco-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/8911/2026/03/2.png" loading="lazy"> </div> <div class="column-text"> <h6>#ForLongBeach</h6> <p>God calls us to love the city!
