ABOUT JOURNEY OF FAITH

Our journey began in 1911 with a small group of 30 families wanting to share the love of God in the beach cities of the

South Bay. With practical Bible teaching and a heart for service to the community, the congregation grew out of their first

two locations in Hermosa Beach. In 1957, the leaders of the church purchased the Manhattan Beach property, and called it,

“four acres of faith.” After many years of growth and with the vision of raising up the next generation of Jesus followers,

Journey proudly opened the doors to their second campus in 2018 in the neighboring city of Torrance.

Journey is a church on a mission following God’s call for us, and where he wants to lead us next. Through our stories we see

lives changed as we follow a God who is calling us into His story, a story of love and compassion. We are looking for team

members who want to be part of this mission.

Journey of Faith’s mission statement: Inviting you to follow Jesus to make a difference in your world.
