Posted on: May 21, 2025
Author: Project DISK

🌟 Church Name: CityLight Church

πŸ“ Location: Los Angeles, California
πŸ•Š️ Denomination: Southern Baptist (SBC)

πŸŒ‡ Urban Mission in a Diverse City

Located just minutes from downtown L.A., CityLight Church stands as a vibrant faith community in one of the most diverse cities in the world.
Their vision: “To reflect heaven in the city.”

Each Sunday, you’ll find worshippers from over 25 nationalities coming together.
The church offers services in English, Spanish, and Korean. Their unity in diversity is truly beautiful.

✝️ Worship & The Word

Worship blends gospel, contemporary, and even Latin praise music—led by a diverse worship team.
The preaching is passionate and missional, often challenging members to live as “everyday missionaries” in their workplaces and neighborhoods.
Senior Pastor Miguel Torres emphasizes: “Church is not just a place we go—it’s who we are.”

🀝 Community Impact

  • “Hope in the City” Campaign: Providing meals, hygiene kits, and prayer to the homeless population every month

  • CityLight Kids Academy: A weekday after-school mentoring program for underserved children

  • Young Creatives Night: A monthly open mic night for Christian artists and musicians to share their gifts

πŸ—£️ Testimony from a College Student

"CityLight gave me a place to grow, question, and serve. I never felt like a number here."
— Justin P., UCLA student
