Nursery Ministry

"Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matt 19:14

We want every guest to enjoy their time with us, knowing that their little worshippers are receiving the best care. During every regularly scheduled service, you can count on trained, loving members of our church to watch over the children left in their care, All workers are fully background checked to add an extra level of protection.

Children's Ministry

Sunday Morning Study groups  
Sunday mornings at 9:00  AM you will discover that our children's Sunday school classes offer a warm and energetic environment. Our teachers aim to provide an opportunity for every child to read God's word and experience God's love.

Children’s Church
At 10:15 AM on Sunday mornings, our children have an exciting service that's designed just for them! Through creative bible lessons as well as engaging games and crafts, we desire for every child to understand God's word. We hope for each child to take home and practice the scriptural truths they learned with us. 

AWANA 
Our AWANA ministry meets Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:00 PM. AWANA stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed." AWANA helps children dive into learning God’s Word while promoting a fun and exciting atmosphere. Every club night, children participate in three segments that provide start to finish adventure!

College & Car eer Ministry

College Ministry   (Will be returning soon...)
As young adults transition from high school into college or career, things can get complicated and confusing. What they need is good friends and a few mentors to help them enjoy the challenges and make wise decisions. 
We plan on resuming our Young Singles ministry in January 2023.

Focus of Studies           
As we transition from high school to college, life decisions and the way we live them out takes on a whole new significance. Join us as we try to answer the questions you probably should be asking.

"And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." ~ Prov 18:24

Adults Ministry

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." 
~ Matt 18:20

Adult Bible Classes 

On Sunday mornings at 9 am and Thursday nights a 6:30 pm, we like to dig into God's word for answers to life's difficult questions. Each week, you can count on these classes to give you some much needed encouragement and help as you seek to know more about God and how to please Him.


If you want to know more about the church, you may want to sign-up for a Starting Point class. This is a four-week class that is offered several times throughout the year during the 9 am study hour.

Music Ministry

 Music Ministry
With everyone at a different stage of life and coming from a variety of backgrounds, it's our desire to provide music and music ministry opportunities that everyone can enjoy. We hope that the blend of timeless songs, choruses and hymns will be an encouragement to you each week and as an extra bonus, various types of special music as an added feature of our services that may be exactly what you need in a difficult time or be reminded of God's amazing power.  

Media
Week after week, we have a team of teens and men that work hard to present to us the words to our songs, special videos and anything related to sound. These are the unseen ministers in our service.  

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise." 
~ Psalm 98:4

Outreach Ministries

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." 
~ Mark 16:15

The Journey is all about our community and their needs.  That's why we're out in our neighborhood every month trying to meet one need or another.  We have a few regularly scheduled options you may want to check out.


Community Soul Winning

Each month, we are out in the local community, knocking on doors, inviting them to come and see what it's like to have a loving church family looking out for you and helping you along.  While we're there, if the Lord opens an opportunity, we want to share with them how they can have a personal relationship with Jesus. Is that something that interests you?  If so, click here.


Each month, we are out making visits to first time guests or hurting families.  


Food Outreach

On the 2nd Saturday of the month at 8:30 am, we partner with The Narrow Door to bring free food to the apartments near our property.  Many people living there do not have enough to eat and we want to meet that need for them.  There are no strings attached for those who receive the food, but we hope they will let us share with them how much God really does love them and that they matter to us. *If you're in immediate need of food, please contact the Narrow Door at www.thenarrowdoor.org or call them at (760) 775-6200.

World Missions

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." ~ Luke 10:2

Our mission is to obey the command of the Lord Jesus Christ to take the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. Every member of the church has the responsibility to be a part of world evangelism through prayer, giving, and going. Jesus Christ has commanded that we pray the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.
