Mission:

La Jolla Christian Fellowship is a local micro-church, purposed to bring deep community transformation and far reaching global impact in the name of Jesus Christ.

Beliefs:

We believe in all of the great and central Christian doctrines including the Trinity; the Virgin Birth and Deity of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ and His atoning work on the cross; His resurrection; and His coming again to save His own, to establish His Kingdom and to judge the world.

We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, divinely-inspired Word of God and we preach, teach and seek to live by its inspiration and under its authority.

We believe that worship is fundamental to our relationship with God. We seek to exalt Jesus Christ through wholehearted worship, through Christ-centered living and through our witness to others. We emphasize Christ’s Lordship and we take seriously His call to discipleship and His commission to take the gospel to the entire world.

We believe that Christian ministry is three-directional: upward, in Spirit-led worship, inward, in the development of true fellowship and body life, and outward, in mission and service to the world. And further, we believe that the chief end and highest motive of each is that God be glorified.

We emphasize the essential role of the Holy Spirit in empowering, transforming and equipping Christians to effectively serve Christ and to build up His body. We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are operative today and we welcome the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Our worship services, ministries and fellowship gatherings should allow freedom for the Holy Spirit to operate in the context of balance, order and love.

We believe in the ministry of every believer, that every Christian has been called and gifted by the Holy Spirit for active ministry in the body of Christ.

We are committed to interdenominational Christian fellowship, recognizing that Christ’s body is made up of all those who are born of His Spirit and committed to His Lordship, and that the unity of Christians.

History:

La Jolla Christian Fellowship was founded in 1927 as First Baptist Church of La Jolla. Since then, this church has seen many seasons of effective ministry. Today, under the leadership of Pastor Adam Stadtmiller we are again experiencing times of renewal and refreshing.

LJCF remains under the covering of the American Baptist Churches Of the Northwest and celebrates it traditional, rustic and longstanding values.
