Location + Times
Who we are
We are a church in Long Beach, California, founded in 1947. Because of our legacy in this community, our church body is multi-generational. You’ll find a place for babies all the way up to senior adults, and we love the wealth of community that brings to our buildings.
Before You Arrive
Parking
We have one parking lot on our campus. You’ll hear it referred to as the “East Lot.” You’re welcome to park in either a visitor or unmarked space on Sunday Mornings.
If you find that the lot is full, there are parking spaces near the Pan Am Park just down the street, or along the residential streets surrounding our campus.
Worship
Because of the nature of our multi-generational congregation, we like to sing a range of traditional, contemporary, and modern songs on Sunday mornings. Check out our YouTube Worship Playlist to listen before you visit.
How Should I Dress?
Come as you are. When you attend Arbor Road, you’ll see there’s a wide range of attire. Some love to dress up, others come dressed casual.
