We gather every Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. God's Word is preached and the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts. We expect to encounter God and be equipped to better serve him each week.
Thanks to all who missed the sermon because you were serving during the service. We are grateful for you and couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy listening to the recording.
We are holding a bi-annual members meeting next Sunday immediately following our morning service. These meetings are where the pastors equip you to be faithful, fruitful, joyful members of our church. There are details, discussions, and plans that we only discuss in these meetings. So please don’t miss it!
Here is a snapshot of our agenda:
Membership Update
Financial Update
2024 Discipleship Classes
This is a working lunch. You eat while the pastors talk. Pack a lunch or bring cash for pizza ($1/slice).
On Saturday, our worship team is joining forces with the teams from our sister churches in Pasadena and Santa Ana for an all-day bandcamp. Our musicians do much more than make music for our church. They serve us as small group leaders, children’s ministry volunteers, prayer team members, and more.
Their lives are full and they’re carving out a whole day to find fresh encouragement and sharpen their skills as they lead us in singing the gospel each week. We thank God for these dear brothers and sisters.
Here’s how you can pray for them on Saturday:
Ask God to confirm and affirm their calling to serve us in singing God’s praises.
Ask God to deepen their friendships with one another.
Ask God to bless our worship team members for the sacrifices of time they make this Saturday and each week to serve us.
Ask God to be gracious to the spouses who are staying home with kids while the musicians are together.
Ask God to fill their hearts with love for Christ, affection for the church, and ambition to grow.

Thank you for loving our neighbors to the glory of God.

On Sunday, we had the privilege of welcoming Brent and Jericha as church members and celebrating Brent’s baptism. It never ceases to amaze us that Jesus Christ continues to save sinners and knit them into His church. We’re grateful to count this dear brother and sister as fellow church members and co-heirs of grace.
Next Tuesday, October 31, has something way better than candy and costumes in store. It’s Reformation Day, which means this Sunday is Reformation Sunday.
In the past, we have hosted a big party after our service but we are scaling back this year. There will be nods to it in our service. However, we want to encourage you to celebrate outside of Sunday morning.

We wish everyone could have joined us for Church Camp 2023. But for those who couldn’t, and for those who want to give it another listen, we have the audio from Pastor Eric’s Sunday sermon at camp. It covers Hebrews 4:1-11 and invites us to rest in Jesus no matter how exhausting our hearts and our lives feel.
