Coast Hills Community Church and Auditorium

Founding Pastor Denny Bellesi and his wife Leesa had long dreamed of starting a church. That dream began to take shape in 1985 as a small Bible study in a living room among a handful of neighbors and friends.

Later that year, Coast Hills Community Church officially began. Dana Hills High School became Coast Hills’ first meeting place but when they grew to 400 families, more space was needed. The next year, a brand new church building was completed in Aliso Viejo. Today, more than 3,500 families call Coast Hills “home.” This church acts as a host to several community events.
