The First Baptist Church of Lomita is an independent Reformed Baptist church located in Lomita, California, in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. 
  • Pastor’s Name: The current pastor is Rick Garland. 
  • Address: 26366 Hillcrest Avenue, Lomita, CA 90717
  • Phone Number: (310) 326-0597
  • Programs:
    • Worship Services: Sunday morning worship at 11:00 AM, with a fellowship lunch occasionally following (e.g., noted for August 27, 2023). The Lord’s Supper service may be scheduled at 2:00 PM on specific Sundays, with no 5:00 PM service on those days to allow for extended fellowship.
    • Wednesday Night Bible Study: Held at 7:00 PM, featuring expository preaching or topical studies. For example, Pastor Rick has preached through the book of Haggai and conducted series on subjects like “Life After Death” and “Baptism.”
    • Psalm Sing and Fellowship: Periodic events, such as a joint Psalm Sing and Fellowship Time with Liberty Baptist Church – Norwalk (e.g., February 24, 2023, at 7:00 PM) or a standalone event at the church (e.g., August 25, 2023, at 7:00 PM).
    • First Baptist Christian School: Offers a K-12 education with a one-on-one program, emphasizing a faith-based curriculum alongside academics.
    • Ministries: The church focuses on sharing the Gospel through public evangelism, Christian fellowship, and prayer, though specific outreach details are not extensively listed.
  • Affiliations: The church identifies as an independent Baptist congregation, meaning it is not formally affiliated with a larger denominational body like the Southern Baptist Convention. It maintains a connection to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, aligning with historical Reformed Baptist traditions. Joint events, such as the Psalm Sing with Liberty Baptist Church – Norwalk, suggest informal cooperation with like-minded congregations.
  • Doctrinal Positions:
    • Independent: The church operates under the “sovereign lordship of Jesus Christ,” free from external ecclesiastical control.
    • Confessional: Adheres to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, a key document in Reformed Baptist theology.
    • Reformed Soteriology: Emphasizes salvation by grace through faith, consistent with Reformed teachings on doctrines like election and perseverance of the saints.
    • Family Integrated: Encourages families to worship together rather than separating by age groups.
    • Expository Preaching: Prioritizes systematic teaching through Scripture.
    • Worship Style: Includes singing Psalms and hymns collectively, reflecting a traditional approach.
    • Evangelism and Fellowship: Stresses public evangelism, Christian community, and prayer as core practices.
The church describes itself as “not seeker sensitive but very Savior Sensitive” and “not Emergent; but definitely Growing in the Spirit,” indicating a focus on biblical fidelity over contemporary trends. For the most current service times or program updates, contacting the church directly or visiting their official website is recommended, as schedules may vary.
