/ Our Ministries
The following ministries at Living Way are volunteer-led departments of the church in which members can serve the church body, the local community, and people abroad under the banner of Christ.
Participation in a ministry is a one-year commitment (unless otherwise noted) and church membership is a prerequisite. If you would like more information about a ministry or joining, please fill out the ministry signup form.
Discipleship Communities
To provide a close-knit community context in which people can experience genuine life transformation. We believe "church" really happens in smaller groups, where people can connect with one another and grow in knowing God, serving one another, and reaching out to the community. Groups are organized by location and/or lifestage. We encourage everyone to sign up!
Kingdom Kids (Children's Ministry)
To be a dynamic community of change, transforming ordinary children into fully devoted disciples of Christ. Our ministry is designed for infants and children from ages 1–11 years. We want to foster a safe environment where children can learn about Christ and grow in His word. We have devoted teachers and caretakers who model Christ's love and guide these beautiful children to know God. If you are interested in nurturing these children into disciples of Jesus Christ, please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Life Academy
We seek to impact lives through the development of the Christian mind. Aletheia means “truth” in Greek, and accordingly, this institute seeks to offer various courses in areas ranging from theology and apologetics to practical living and spiritual formation. Class sessions are typically held on Sunday afternoons and last for approximately one hour. Please be on the lookout for more announcements about upcoming course offerings that may be of interest to you.
Lunch Ministry
Provides lunches for the congregation on Sundays after worship service. This gives church attendees a common time to fellowship and meet new people while sharing a meal. We welcome volunteers to help cook and serve food. If you are interested in joining, please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Missions Department: Local Missions
To fulfill the Great Commission here in L.A.: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19–20). We prioritize and value building relationships with and actively loving our community. We want to train and equip believers to share the gospel and to impact our local community. Although our service opportunities are flexible in order to meet the changing needs of people, the crux of local missions is the unchanging message of the gospel. There will be various service opportunities announced throughout the year, but we currently researching avenues of long-term investment. We are always searching for and open to new ways of reaching out to the people of our community. Please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Missions Department: Foreign Missions
To bring awareness of world missions to Living Way and to mobilize the church for overseas missions. We hope to accomplish this through the following: First, we will promote world missions awareness through events such as the annual missions month in February. Second, we will support and send out short-term missionaries and teams from our church. Third, we will develop long-term relationships with a specific people group, mobilizing and supporting long-term missionaries to this group. Finally, we want to promote faithful prayer on behalf of missionary efforts worldwide. There are many ways to get involved, and new ideas are always needed. If you are interested in joining, please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Operations
To ensure that Living Way’s various events, such as Sunday services, retreats, and other activities, run smoothly. Although we work behind the scenes (e.g. setting up equipment), we are vital to church events. We are always looking for committed people who enjoy working in a coordinated effort to make sure we operate as smoothly and efficiently as possible. If you are interested in joining, please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Welcome Team
To help newcomers feel at home and to help the people at Living Way connect. It is imperative as believers to focus develop intimate relationships extending both vertically and horizontally (i.e. with God and with people). For newcomers, we are glad you came. We want to help you get plugged into our church by spending time with you and inviting you to be a part of our lives. For “oldtimers,” we hope to deepen existing relationships and encourage you to connect with newcomers. On any given Sunday, you will see us with name tags, running around doing various tasks in addition to meeting and greeting. We are professionals in the art of program distribution, ushering, and the administration of information. Welcome to Living Way! It’s nice to meet you!
If you are interested in joining the Welcome Team, please contact us through the ministry interest form.
Worship Ministry
Helping people respond in worship to the revelation of God's glory. Our worship ministry desires to lead God's people into becoming living sacrifices in response to His grace and glory. All throughout Scripture worshippers demonstrate their utter surrender with the physical gesture of falling facedown. This is the kind of life-posture we want our worship ministry to help foster. Worship is the entry-point into fulfilling God’s intended destiny and design for us, the release-point of great blessing to us, and the power-point by which we are transformed and empowered to become witnesses to the world around us. Let's be expressive in our love and worship to an awesome God!
