Learn about our history, mission, and the heart behind Calvary Chapel Crenshaw
To know Christ and make Him known through the systematic teaching of God’s Word, authentic worship, and loving service to our community and the world.
To be a thriving community of believers who are growing in faith, serving with love, and making disciples who transform lives in Los Angeles and beyond.
Calvary Chapel Crenshaw was founded in 1985 with a simple vision: to create a place where people could encounter God’s love and grow in their faith through the systematic study of Scripture. What began as a small gathering in a community center has grown into a vibrant church family serving the Crenshaw district and beyond.
Over the years, we’ve remained committed to our founding principles: verse-by-verse teaching of the Bible, authentic worship, and practical Christian living. Our church has been blessed to see countless lives transformed through the power of God’s Word and the love of our community.
Pastor John has been leading our congregation since 1990, bringing deep biblical insight and pastoral care to our community.
Pastor Maria oversees our youth and family ministries, bringing energy and passion for discipleship to our church family.
