About Love Newport Beach



Love Newport Beach emerged from a group of leaders and pastors who have been praying for the city of Newport Beach. The goal of this organization is to provide focus, organization and communication that will lead to more of us praying for our city leaders and officials, loving our actual neighbors, and working together to help resolve the greater challenges in our city.

As coordinated efforts improve, we hope to see people experiencing homelessness find a home. As churches have made ongoing commitments to a local school, we hope to see our student’s flourish. As our neighboring network grows, we hope to see isolated neighbors come into community and practical needs met in our neighborhoods.

These are the things everyone loves to see, however the roots of this organization are prayer. We will continue bringing focus, organization, and communication around challenges in our city, but at our core we believe that as we continue bringing more and more people together to worship and pray to a loving, merciful and grace-filled God, we believe the results will continue to expand.
