Reality LA is a church plant of Reality Carpinteria near Santa Barbara, California. Britt Merrick, the teaching pastor at Reality Carp, had often led his congregation in prayer for Hollywood. Tim Chaddick, who joined the Reality Carp staff in 2004, prayed weekly about planting a church in the heart of Los Angeles. After roughly two years of prayer, Reality LA launched its first Sunday morning service in January of 2006 at Gardner Elementary School.

Reality LA is part of the Reality network of churches. We are grateful for, and consider ourselves accountable to, this family.
