Welcome to Faith!

Rev. Dr. Paul Wenz
Rev. Dr. Paul Wenz and our Faith Family welcome you to our church community (on campus and online)! We are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church which is part of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), located in Riverside, California.

At Faith, we have been carrying out a Gospel Ministry of sharing Jesus since 1937. You can check out our history from our special–75th Anniversary Celebration Booklet in 2012!

It is our mission to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all of God's children and connect them to the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12). We also recognize that Christians are to be a family of believers and so we want to build one another up in the Body of Christ to be more like Jesus each day! We extend a warm welcome to you and invite you to worship with us each Sunday.

Our Mission Statement  —  "Bringing God's Children Home"

Our Vision Statement — "To support foster families and children impacted by abuse and neglect, giving them hope so they will know God's Loving Grace!"

Faith’s Sanctuary (indoor) Worship Services re-opened in April 2021. Sunday worship continues to be live-streamed! Worship at 9:00 AM inside and online at: Faith’s Facebook Page and on Faith’s YouTube Channel!

Faith currently has one service at 9:00 AM with live streaming at the same time. We no longer have any Covid restrictions, but attendees can wear masks if they want.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion may be received every Sunday.
