Church near USC? Place to live?

[Newman]

My son got connected with the church he went to when he was at Wheaton based on info from the forum. It worked out well.

So, now he is bound for USC Film School.

1. He will need to find a church and a place to live. What churches would you recommend in the area? And why?

2. Does anyone know of a church family in a relatively safe area near the school that might rent out a room?

Thanks.

Doesn't Nancy Granquist and her husband pastor a chruch near there?

[StMark]

Grandquist are in Northern CA. in the San Francisco bay area.

USC is in Los Angeles. I would recommend Dan Butler's church in Belflower - southwest Los Angeles Area near Long beach. He's a good pastor.

Elder Noe Trevino is in Bell Gardens?

Bro Epley! I've been meaning to contact you...stand by for a PM.

I forgot about that church - then again, do you think Newman's son would go to a UC church? lol

St Mark- Umm... What is the church like? Michael's ambition is a bit outside the box.

Bro. Yonts' church in Illinois was a young, dynamic church with a great youth leader.

I saw that Jeremy Foster lives in LA. Would you happen to know where he attends church?

I am guessing that this might not be the best fit for someone pursuing film studies.

Hmmm...don't know how close. Bellflower. Riverside. Van Nuys

Further away Escondido. I know the Youth leader there. Pasadena.

Van Nuys http://www.valleylighthouse.org/index.php

Bellflower http://www.ipchurch.com/

Escondido http://www.npwconline.com/ might be too far

San Fernando Flowers...no website

BTW Bellflower every year puts on Virtual Hell

There are elements of Pentecostal tradition at Belflower but for the most part it's very contemporary - lot's of young bands, casual,etc very southern CA so to speak. The pastor's son has a band that's probably in line w/what he may be use to. the church runs about 400 I believe.

He may also want to try the church in Torrance (west Los Angeles Area).
the pastor is steve saize. He married Debbie Foster. I don't know anything else about it except that I know that Debbie and steve are dynamic leaders.

Also, there is a very small church in Van nuys ( north L.A Area) that he may want to look into. There is a very FAMOUS Guitarist that attends there....his name escapes me right off but trust me, you're son will know this musician lol

Just follow the links. If he does not mind driving to BF it would be a great church to go to.
