FAQ

Questions, answered

The things families ask us most. Don’t see yours? Reach out — a real person reads every message.

Who is Telos for?

Any student in grades 6 through 12. You don’t have to be a member of the church, and you don’t have to have it all figured out. Come with your questions.

When and where do you meet?

Sundays at 11:30am is the best place to start. Friday nights at 7:00pm is where the community lives. Both at 5005 Edenhurst Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039.

Will my student know anyone?

If they’re in middle school, older students called Buddies come alongside them from day one — not to teach or fix, just to make sure no one stands alone. Belonging comes before everything else.

Do we need to be church members?

No. Students don’t need to be members, or believe everything yet, to belong here.

What will my student be learning?

A seven-year path from 6th grade through 12th, designed for who a student actually is at each age. See the journey for the full arc.

How is my student cared for?

Every student is known through a Teacher, who is cared for by the Pastor. Jr. High students also get a Buddy. Read more about how care reaches your student on the About page.

How do you keep students safe online?

We don’t publish identifiable photos of minors anywhere on this site or our channels until a signed media-release policy is in place. It’s a firm line.

Is there a cost?

Weekly gatherings are free to attend. Retreats and some special events have a cost, which we share ahead of time — and we never want it to keep a student from coming, so reach out if it’s ever a concern.

How do we get connected?

Just come on a Sunday — or reach out first and a real person will get back to you.
