The New Apostolic Church emphasizes the personal accountability of its members for their actions. The individual is responsible to God for his or her behavior. The gospel of Christ and the system of values inherent in the Ten Commandments provide clear orientation in this respect.

The New Apostolic Church recognizes three sacraments: Holy Baptism, Holy Sealing, and Holy Communion. The return of Christ to take home His bride is a central component of New Apostolic doctrine. Other significant elements are missionary work and love for one’s fellow human being.

The New Apostolic Church is politically neutral and independent. It is financed by the voluntary donations of its members.

The first New Apostolic congregation in Los Angeles, made up of New Apostolic families who had emigrated from Europe, gathered in a private home in 1915. Our San Fernando Valley congregation met first met for services in 1932, buying and converting an old store building in Van Nuys as a church ten years later. Van Nuys expanded and a second congregation started meeting in Reseda, moving a quaint chapel to new land for their own church in 1957. Meanwhile, the Van Nuys congregation built a new church building in Mission Hills in 1972. Finally, the two congregations became one again in a remodeled church in 2008.
