Who is Hope Church?

Hope Church is a non-denominational church in downtown Los Angeles, striving to live out the Biblical command to love God, each other and our neighbors well. This means worshipping and following Jesus Christ not only through our words, but also through the lives we lead.


We began in 2012 when Josh Crowder and his wife, Lauren, moved from Brooklyn to LA, hoping to spread the gospel in an unfamiliar city. Eventually, Josh was able to find like-minded individuals and together they founded Hope Church based on the idea that fellowship, creativity and transformation should be bigger parts of the Christian experience.
