Welcome & Mission

What is Waves Church? Waves Church exists to make and grow followers of Jesus. We do this in community on campus for the kingdom.

In Community
No one is made to follow Jesus alone. We gather weekly to eat together, worship together, and open God’s Word together.

On Campus
The college years go fast, but they run deep. We believe God can use Waves Church to impact the trajectory of Pepperdine students’ lives.

For the Kingdom
Every local church is part of a bigger story. We celebrate the sending of faith-filled alumni all over the world for the sake of God’s kingdom advancing.
