Hello Community Covenant Church of Goleta!

Welcome to another meaningful week at Community Covenant Church - and another sacred opportunity to gather as God's people. Each Sunday invites us to pause from the hurried rhythm of life, re-center our hearts on Jesus, and be reminded that we do not walk this journey of faith alone.

Whether Community Covenant has long been your church home or you are just beginning to get connected, we want you to know there is a place for you here. God continues to move in and through this community, and whenever we come together, we open ourselves to His presence, His shaping, and His grace - together.

If you haven't noticed, time keeps moving faster and faster. In that light, have you thought about your eternal destiny? What happens to you after you die? For the next couple of weeks, 1 Thessalonians will lead us into eternity!

God is moving at Community Covenant, and there are many ways to step in, connect, and grow. Take a moment to explore the updates below and see where God might be inviting you next.

This trip will bring history to life as we explore the stories, places, and people God used in powerful ways - from the Reformation to the spread of the English Bible.

Stories: A Night of Worship & Testimony | Sunday, March 8 | 6:00-9:00 PM

We're excited to help spread the word about a powerful gathering for women happening here in Santa Barbara.

"Stories" is an evening where Christian women from across our city come together - beyond individual church congregations - to worship the Lord and share personal testimonies of His faithfulness. Women from multiple local churches are helping lead, pray, and serve, creating a beautiful picture of unity in the Body of Christ.

Throughout the evening, women will share their stories of God's work in their lives, culminating with author Kathy Christopher sharing her testimony. Last year, more than 300 women gathered, and it was an incredibly meaningful time of connection and encouragement.

This year's event will be held at Shoreline Church (935 San Andres St, Santa Barbara) with dedicated spaces for small group discussion and fellowship.

This is a FREE event, but reservations are requested.

We would love to see the women of Community Covenant there - and this could be a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend who may not yet know Jesus.

Let's continue building unity across our city and celebrating the stories of what God is doing among us.
