Rev. Dr. Jonathan B. Hall

senior pastor

If you’re like me, I tend to look at these parts of church websites to see if I’m welcome. Oftentimes, I’m met with member prerequisites and language of exclusion well before I can find where (and if) I belong. You won’t find that here—or anywhere in Jesus’s ministry. Instead, you’ll discover a community of believers bonded by the call to be Disciples in many different ways. You’ll find a church that feels like home because it reflects the rich tapestry of our city. You’ll be part of a congregation of students, where the pastors and elders are learning alongside you (and from you).

I wasn’t seeking a church to serve when I was offered this position at First Christian Church of North Hollywood. At the time, I was serving a congregation in Colorado. After some initial hesitation and self-doubt, I heard God’s call to lead a community that doesn’t build walls around faith, but seeks to extend Jesus’s table. My greatest hope is that the sermon never ends and we continue to follow Jesus with renewed excitement and hope. I invite you to join us as we embark on this exploration of faith and discipleship together. At FCCNH, we start with belonging and go from there.
