Description of Church: Our dream is to impact the city of Long Beach by starting a compelling new church in the heart of downtown.  When you come to downtown Long Beach, we want you to think that you somehow stumbled into Jerusalem in 33 A.D. and were experiencing the church described in Acts 2 – the church that was known, characterized, and set-apart by their uncommon love for God, for each other, and for their city.
