Elevate Ministries was established in 1985, when Carl and Bonnie Friedrich felt directed of the Lord to leave their Arizona home and business to begin a new church in Orange County, California. The church grew rapidly as young people who were caught up in the drug alcohol and gang culture gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. These radically transformed converts began to believe the message from God'
s Word that they could change the world in which they lived, and began witnessing their salvation to anyone who would listen. Now over 20 years later, Elevate has evolved into a dynamic church home to a vibrant multiracial congregation that has reproduced into a fellowship of 40 like-minded churches. Just one visit to the Orange County church will reveal an exciting, relevant and fun place to worship.
