Hosanna Community Church (한인교회 Korean Church)

I’ve been a youth member here for 9 years, ever since the church began, and it’s truly been really fun. The community is warm and welcoming, the pastor is amazing and kind, and the messages always inspire growth and faith. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Christ-centered community! (both adults and kids)

HCC has been an incredible community for me and my family to be a part of. We attend the English service and Youth Group. The new building/location in Walnut Creek is beautiful and we are so excited for this new chapter of the church!

HCC is a beautiful community located in a cozy area on the outskirts of downtown Walnut Creek. I have been at this church for 9 years and it has been an amazing experience. The people are all very welcoming and the church is led by a warm and passionate pastor. I highly recommend anyone in the area to come check it out!

This church is a warm and welcoming place. The people are friendly, and the worship is full of joy and meaning. The pastors share messages that help you grow in faith and everyday life. It feels like a family, not just a church.

Honestly a great community! I wasn’t expecting to be coming to church every week but after the first time being dragged here by my friends, it just started happening. I’ve had a great time and it’s been welcoming the whole time I’ve been here.

Wonderfully warm, inviting, and supportive Korean American church and congregation, with great pastor.

Hosanna Community Church is a gem. As a member from its inception about 2 1/2 year ago, I can vouch for this church as one that has all the makings of a healthy body of Christ. Here is what you can expect when you come to HCC: 1) The worship begins at 11AM. At the entrance, you can expect at least four friendly greeters who will hand you a program. If you are new, one of the greeters will invite you to fill out a short form so that you can be introduced during worship. 2) You will walk into a school theater where the praise team will lead with praise songs. The congregation sings along. There will be a brief time of family worship led by our senior pastor. A translation listening device is available for English - speaking members. 3) Just before the sermon, elementary, middle school and high school students walk out to two separate classrooms divided into elementary school students and middle/high school students. Sunday school is one of the strengths of this church. Teachers are experienced, knowledgeable and loving. Each June, the graduating 5th, 8th and 12th graders are promoted to the next level and are presented with personalized bibles. Senior speeches have been great testimonies to the growth of our youth group and Sunday school education programs. Teachers are committed to teaching the word of God. 4) After service, the entire congregation join in fellowship at the school cafeteria and share a simple meal provided by our members. You will see an unusually cohesive and loving community between and across multigenerational/ethnic groups. HCC is predominantly a Korean church but most speak English fluently and some are only English speaking. The elders are very friendly and supportive of the younger members and the respect from the younger members toward the elders is palpable. Children are supported and loved. Because of the emphasis and priority placed on the youth, these kids display a great sense of ownership and trust in the people at HCC. The goal is to give the students a firm foundation in God's Word. New members often comment that after trying many different churches in the area, they finally feel a sense of acceptance and community. The quality of bible teachings and offerings available for anyone interested in learning, is truly unmatched here at HCC. Coffee Break (weekly bible study and discussion sessions. 75% of the members voluntarily sign up), cell group (monthly fellowship meetings usually takes place in members' homes. Share a meal, discuss and learn scripture, fellowship with cell group members) are some of the offerings available to those that are interested. With that being said, there is never any pressure to partake in any or all of the offerings. If you are looking for a nice, Christ-centered church, you will certainly find it here! "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. we come unto Him we shall find rest unto our souls." (Matthew 11:28-3)
