OUR STORY

WHERE WE’VE BEEN

Jeremy and Christy Johnson have always had spirits that desired to be sensitive to the direction of God and in 2012, after serving for nearly 10 years as youth pastors at The House Modesto they felt the pull to Los Angeles CA to embark on the next assignment set out for them. 

Unsure exactly where to begin, they decided to start in Orange County where they would meet at a coffee shop or the local beach. Not long after, the Lord reminded them that it was to the heart of Los Angeles that He was sending them so they took the leap of faith and finally moved to DTLA. After bouncing around from venue to nightclub, through a miracle and a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit, the owners of Exchange LA decided to open up their doors for Fearless to meet weekly and the rest was history.  Our incredible team of volunteers grew in number, all working extremely hard to transform this nightclub into  a church experience. All of the hard work, late nights, and the unloading and loading at Exchange was just the beginning of what the Lord had in store for Fearless. 

WHERE WE ARE

We finally found a building in 2019 and had just launched in January of 2020 when COVID happened and the world entered a lock down. Although the pandemic hit the body of Christ hard, we were grateful for the way the Lord provided our house with a vision to carry us through. From hosting watch parties on Facebook to finally being able to do a drive-in service under the I10-Freeway, the community of Fearless began to gather again. 

Because God had given our Pastors a vision to plant five campuses in five years,  we had to be open to the Spirit on how He was going to move through Fearless. We realized that there was a desperate cry for community, outreach and prayer so we started by launching our Online Campus with a livestream and zoom community that now reaches thousands across the world.  We started partnering with local food banks to distribute food to all those families in need. This new ministry ended up being the catalyst for our next two Campuses as we began doing a grocery outreach in Orange County in 2020 and San Diego in 2023. 

Across the campuses we have seen the heart of the people come back to God like never before. There is a hunger for discipleship so we are so excited that our X18 program is continuing to see incredible growth. We have a revival night that takes place once a month at our Fearless LA location which has turned out to be a powerful night of breakthrough. Our Fearless Kidz ministry is the heart and soul of our church and we see kids give their heart to the Lord weekly. We have seen the impact that Fearless Apparel has made across social media and we know that every piece of clothing is an opportunity to start a conversation about Jesus. Fear Not Coffee is now open daily as a space that work from home creatives and entrepreneurs can come and enjoy.  Our Campuses in Orange County and San Diego have grown to seeing 100s of people weekly and we know that this is just the beginning. Each city is experiencing a move of God that cannot be contained, that is unique to where each Campus is planted.

WHERE WE’RE GOING

The Bible says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). Therefore, we believe it is so important that we are constantly moving forward and following God's lead. Our Dream Team will continue to grow, and we will see people flourish in their God-given gifts and abilities. Our worship team, Fearless BND, will continue to write praise and worship songs that break the mold and push the boundaries of music, and that allows people to experience the supernatural power of Jesus Christ. We will continue weekly outreaches in order to share the message of Christ's love. Our Fearless Kidz ministry will grow in every aspect, including engaging program ideas, plays, and creative outreaches. Our Creative Team is believing to write captivating short films, create influential music videos, and make stellar announcements in order to inform and impact the body of Christ. We are only getting started, and there is much room for God to do all He wants to do in and through Fearless. We believe God will only continue to bring increase and influence as we move forward. We are ready to reach into the culture, reach out to the hurting, and see Southern California saved.
