Mosaic Whittier Podcasts: Recent Episodes

Octavio Martinez

We are a community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to live by faith, to be known by love, and to be a voice of hope. Our name comes from the diversity of our members and from the symbolism of a broken, fragmented humanity becoming a work of beauty under the artful hands of God. We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey. We gather in Whittier, one of several campuses, and invite you to discover how all the pieces can fit together!
