hello south county…
i want to give you the opportunity to hear about/be a part of something very exciting in the early stages.
we are currently in the process of praying through and assessing how God may want us to be involved in the lives of the people in our “next door neighborhood” of via lomas. if you don’t know where that is, it’s the next driveway down from the community center.
after praying and seeking god about where our campus might best be used to make a difference in south orange county, signs are pointing to the possibility of a relationship with the people and community of via lomas. we don’t know what it may look like yet as we’re still in the early stages of trying to see exactly how god may want to use us and teach us through this relationship, but if you’re interested in hearing more about it and how you might be involved, please come to the informational meeting ::
saturday, june 19, 11 am
to rsvp and get the address, please send us a message using our contact form.
see you sunday…

hey south county…
so, we did it! church in a house happened all over south county yesterday. well done!
i have already heard reports from many leaders saying what a great experience it was and many people wanting and hoping for future chances to do this again.
jenn and i met with about 17 or so adults and three kids in a home and had a great morning. the best way i can describe our day was that there was just something that felt very “right” about it. things were very simple and yet profound. we opened god’s word, discussed it, prayed, took communion and then sang together. it was such a joyful sound to hear everyone sing out together in a living room.
we met people or discovered some who live in our neighborhood and didn’t even know it. and now we won’t forget each others’ names with the help of some sweet adjectives – kooky, dr., humongous, dramatic…on and on….
so… great, great, great job everyone. i look forward to hearing more stories this coming week.
what a strong community god is building. jenn and i love being a part of this with you.
see you soon,
chad
