PAC CITY SOCIAL
Building Community Beyond the Church Walls
At Pacific City Church, we believe that the heart of our faith lies not only within the walls of our church but also within the broader community around us. Pac City Social was created with the vision of building bridges beyond Sunday services, connecting with friends, neighbors, and coworkers to cultivate a welcoming, supportive, and joyful community. Through Pac City Social, we offer a variety of fun, engaging events that provide opportunities to form deeper connections with others in relaxed, inclusive settings. Whether you’re new to the church or a regular attendee, these gatherings are a space to meet new people, build relationships, and live out our faith in meaningful ways.
We understand that friendships and community aren’t built overnight, and Pac City Social aims to create a rhythm of events that allow people to bond, enjoy each other’s company, and ultimately grow closer in ways that foster a strong sense of belonging and mutual support.
Expanding Beyond Church Walls
Our vision is simple yet impactful: to make meaningful connections that extend beyond the four walls of the church. This means taking the warmth, love, and support that we experience on Sundays and bringing it into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and local community spaces. We aim to reflect the love of Jesus by being present in our city, engaging in activities that encourage fellowship and growth, and creating environments where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Pac City Social events are not only a way to have fun but also a chance to share in each other’s lives. By providing regular opportunities for people to gather outside of formal church settings, we make space for friendships to develop naturally and for conversations to deepen.
Types of Events and Gatherings
Our events vary from season to season, designed to fit the diverse interests and lifestyles of our community members. Here’s a glimpse into the types of gatherings and activities Pac City Social organizes:
Outdoor Adventures: Living in Los Angeles offers countless opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Pac City Social hosts group hikes, beach days, and picnics that allow people to unwind, explore nature, and engage in relaxed, meaningful conversations. These events are a fantastic way to connect while enjoying the stunning landscapes around us.
Game Nights and Trivia: Nothing brings people together like a little friendly competition! Our game nights and trivia events are designed to be a time of laughter and bonding. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to have some fun, these gatherings encourage teamwork, strategy, and a lot of laughs. It’s a chance to relax and connect without any pressure.
Monthly Social Dinners: Our monthly social dinners provide an intimate setting for people to share a meal, exchange stories, and enjoy fellowship. Held at various local restaurants or hosted potlucks, these dinners are perfect for building friendships over shared meals. Each gathering allows for rich conversations and provides a wonderful space for newcomers to feel welcomed.
Seasonal Celebrations: Pac City Social also hosts special seasonal events, such as summer barbecues, fall harvest parties, and Christmas gatherings. These celebrations offer a time to come together as a larger community, creating memories that highlight the joy of shared traditions and the warmth of togetherness. Seasonal gatherings also provide an ideal opportunity to invite friends and family members who might be curious about the church community.
Service Projects: At Pacific City, we believe that serving others is a cornerstone of our faith, so Pac City Social frequently partners with Pac City Impact to organize service-oriented gatherings. From volunteering at local shelters to participating in neighborhood clean-up days, these projects allow us to give back to our community while strengthening bonds with each other. Serving alongside friends often leads to deeper connections and shared purpose.
Interest-Based Groups: We recognize that people connect in unique ways, and that’s why we offer interest-based gatherings. These might include book clubs, cooking nights, photography meet-ups, or fitness sessions. By providing opportunities that align with specific interests, we create spaces where people can bond over shared passions, learn from one another, and grow together in new and exciting ways.

Fostering Genuine Connections: Each event is crafted to facilitate natural conversation and bonding. We believe that shared experiences lay the foundation for lasting friendships, and our gatherings are meant to offer time, space, and freedom for relationships to develop authentically.
Encouraging Mutual Support: Community isn’t just about socializing; it’s about showing up for one another. Through Pac City Social, we’re building a network of support, where people can lean on each other during both the good times and the challenges.
