Gardena-Torrance Baptist Church

About this church

Gardena-Torrance Baptist Church in Gardena, California holds its Sunday worship service at 11:15 a.m. in the first-floor sanctuary at 1457 West 179th Street. The service is also streamed live on Facebook and YouTube, and past sermons are available online. The church began in 1961 as a Southern Baptist congregation for Japanese families who had moved from Hawaii, and it now describes itself as a multi-ethnic, Bible-believing, Christ-centered church. Its motto, Go, Teach, Baptize, Care, summarizes a focus on disciple-making, and its outreach is inspired by Acts 1:8.

Sunday school classes include a youth class and women's classes over Zoom, along with an in-person teen class at 10:00 a.m. Bible study meets by Zoom on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Member care ministries cover prayer, hospital fellowship and hospitality. The building is shared with other congregations, including a Japanese-speaking church and a Spanish-speaking church that hold their own services. A prayer request form and online giving are available through the website. Confirm times with the church office at (310) 329-0501 or on the website before attending.
