Uniting the Antioch churches in the SoCal region to catalyze every person for local and global mission.
At World Mandate LA, you can look forward to powerful encounters with God in worship, hear incredible teaching and testimonies of how God is moving in the world, and learn how you can join in God’s mission in the earth, right where you are.
This year’s theme is THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
We gather because Jesus is the Light of the World. He is our source, our hope, and the One who calls us out of darkness and into His light. As we encounter Him together, we are invited not only to receive His light, but to carry it into our neighborhoods, our region, and the ends of the earth.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
MATTHEW 5:14-16
