Christian Faith
We gather around Jesus Christ, Scripture, prayer, worship, and the hope of the Gospel.

کلیسای قدیسه کریستینای پارس
Saint Christina of Persia is a Persian-speaking Christian church rooted in Scripture, prayer, worship, and the courageous witness of Persian Christians across history and diaspora.
We are shaped by the Anglican tradition while welcoming seekers, families, new believers, and Persian-speaking people who long for Christ, community, and spiritual depth.
Who we are
We gather around Jesus Christ, Scripture, prayer, worship, and the hope of the Gospel.
We honor the language, beauty, memory, poetry, suffering, and resilience of Persian-speaking people.
We are building a spiritual home for those scattered across borders, generations, and stories.

The name we carry
We chose the name Saint Christina of Persia because her story holds together what we believe: Persian identity, Christian faith, courage, and costly witness. Born Yazdoi, remembered as Christina, she stands as a Persian woman whose faith in Christ became stronger than fear, pressure, and the demands of her age.
Her name reminds us that Christianity is not foreign to Persian history. It has deep roots in the lands, languages, and suffering of our people.
In our own time, as Iranian women have become symbols of courage, conscience, and dignity, the witness of a Persian female saint carries a particular meaning. We do not carry her name as a political slogan, but as a sacred reminder: faith, dignity, and freedom of conscience are worth living for.
Worship
Our gatherings are reverent, warm, bilingual, and centered on Christ. We pray, read Scripture, sing, receive teaching, and grow together as a Persian-speaking Christian community shaped by the Anglican tradition.
Mission
Our mission is to serve our local Persian-speaking community in Southern California and to reach beyond our borders to Persian-speaking nations and diaspora communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are building worship, pastoral care, discipleship, leadership development, and church-planting capacity for Persian-speaking people wherever God opens the door.
Safeguarding
We are committed to protecting children, youth, vulnerable adults, families, volunteers, and leaders through clear safeguarding standards, screening, training, reporting pathways, and pastoral accountability.
