A message from Pastor John:
“In Revelation 4, God sits on his throne. Before him the chaotic world is as peaceful as glass. He does not pace, stand, or fret. May you live from the calm of his throne. Even if we lose, we will win. The faithful disciples of Jesus are more than conquerors!”

Friends, as a result of the closure of all Long Beach Schools, we will be having online services for the upcoming weeks instead of meeting in person on Sundays.

Join us on Facebook Live:
Sunday, March 15, 2020
10:00 am PST
Go to https://www.facebook.com/folcovlb/ and click on the “Live” button.

We’ll have worship, prayer, teaching the young disciples, and a sermon from John 8.12: “The Light of the Cosmos.”

We encourage you to continue meeting together in small groups as long as you are maintaining healthy practices, including staying home if you are not feeling well, washing your hands, and maintaining a safe distance from people.
