"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves... This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

James 1:22, 27

True Christianity in the sight of God is a Christianity that helps others. At Total Devotion we have opportunities throughout the year to live out this call. Some recent opportunities, including some of our staples, include:

  • South Pasadena Convalescent Home
  • 30 Hour Planned Famine
  • Los Angeles Mission
  • Joni and Friends Family Retreat
  • Youth Summer Missions Project
  • various other volunteer opportunities

We encourage you to live out your faith and to serve your Lord Jesus, for "when you do it unto the least of these, you do it unto Me."


Total Devotion is the High School Fellowship at Mandarin Baptist Church of Los Angeles.

Total Devotion meets on every Friday night from 730 PM to 10 PM in Room 131 except for the last Friday of each month.

What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Phillipians 3:8-11
