ABOUT US
Monterey Church is a multi-generational, multiethnic movement of Jesus followers that are committed to growing to live and love like Jesus, while leading other to do the same. We believe that we grow as disciples when, by the power of Holy Spirit, we are regularly incorporating God’s Word, community and spiritual practices into our daily rhythms.
While we gather regularly in the heart of Downtown Monterey, California, our mission is to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20) in our neighborhoods, city, country and internationally as the Lord leads us.
Founded in 2006, Monterey Church has had the unique opportunity to equip and empower thousands of individuals and families who live in the area, and those who have come to and through our city due to military assignments (Naval Postgraduate School, Defense Language Institute), college (CSUMB, MIIS, MPC, etc.) and tourism.
As the Lord is willing, we are committed to continuing to introduce more people to our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, and to equip and empower more people to grow as disciples, to go and make disciples and even plant churches as the Spirit leads!
