Manhattan Beach Community Church — Attraction in Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach Community Church has been an incredible space for my spiritual journey since joining in 2022. As a queer-affirming and egalitarian community, MBCC embraces all people with open arms, provides endless opportunities for involvement, and opportunities to give back through volunteerism.

I've grown by contributing to the church's communication board and engaging with the vibrant women's fellowship, including the crafter's community and the soul sisters group. Simultaneously, my husband has explored and expressed his creativity through theater, participating both on stage and behind the scenes for the South Bay's longest-running theater group, which is led by the church.

The faith formation ministers have played a pivotal role in our spiritual journey, creating an inclusive space for growth through diverse activities, from bible studies to interfaith events with our Muslim and Jewish brothers and sisters. The Adult Discussion Group (ADG) sessions before Sunday service have been a highlight, fostering thoughtful discussions on current and historical events among a theologically diverse community.

Senior Pastor Mike Spitters has been a true blessing to us. From our initial visit to MBCC, we recognized his open-mindedness and instantly knew he was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. His spiritual guidance, from our joining the church to the wedding ceremony and beyond, has been an ongoing blessing for which we are deeply grateful.

It is small enough that you don't feel overwhelmed by the number of people. There are many activities for the family including drive in movies, art nights, discussion groups, game nights and volunteer opportunities. All of which were very important to us for making faith part of our children's life. Especially the Sunday School offering which has been consistent even thru the challenges of Covid. We really feel at home at MBCC. As each mass starts we are reminded that no matter who you are, or where you are in life's journey you are welcome here! And we really...
