Please read Matthew 28:18-20 to prepare for the sermon.
Hello Community Covenant Church of Goleta!
Thank you for all who helped this past Fall Fest!
Last Sunday, more than 45 volunteers helped make Fall Fest an amazing afternoon of fun for over 400 of our Foothill neighbors! Thank you to everyone who made nachos, drove tractors, moved hay, set up games, popped popcorn, built scarecrows, or dressed up as a friendly dinosaur and made a child's day. So many of you stayed for the entire afternoon, giving your time and energy to help our neighbors feel welcome. What a joy to see our church family serving together!
This Sunday
We're looking forward to being together again as we continue asking, "Why the Church?"
To be the church means to be the presence of Jesus in a world that needs to see Jesus. But how do we do that? What exactly are our marching orders? This week we begin to listen in as Jesus answers that very question.
You can study Matthew 28.18-20 to get a preview of our topic.
We hope you'll stick around after worship this Sunday for coffee, treats, and conversation! Catch up with friends, meet someone new, and enjoy time with our church family.
Then join us in the sanctuary for our Mid-Year Congregational Meeting. We'll hear updates from Pastor Eric and our Leadership Board and pray together for God's guidance. Your presence matters as we share in the life and future of our church!
This week, our Fellowship Team will handle setup and cleanup. If your last name begins with T-Z, please bring a treat to share. Thank you for helping make this time together possible!
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
Community Covenant Mid Year Meeting
THIS Sunday, October 25 after the service
Join us for our Mid-Year Congregational Meeting THIS Sunday, October 25, right after the worship service. Grab a cup of coffee, then head back to the sanctuary for important updates from Pastor Eric and our Leadership Board.
As a church family, we have the privilege of sharing in the life and direction of our congregation. Come hear about key issues facing our church and pray together for God's guidance in the months ahead. We'd love to have you join us!
Our Mid-Year Congregational Meeting on October 25 will include an update on this year's budget. Meanwhile, information about last year's budget (April 2025 - March 2026) is available for you. Simply click the button below!

Are You Interested in Becoming An Active Member of Community Covenant?
Our church has "Community" in its name on purpose. We want to be people centered on Jesus, growing in faith and living it out together. Our purpose is to cultivate a community that strives to love God, follow Jesus and serve others-and we'd love to help you discover your place in that community.
Join us for our two-week New Members Class on November 8 and 15, after the Sunday service. Over lunch and conversation, we'll explore what we believe, how our purpose shapes life at Community Covenant Church, and what it means to become a member.
Whether you're ready to pursue membership or simply want to learn more, you're welcome! There's no obligation to become a member, but attending both sessions is required for those who choose to take that step.
Life can be beautiful, but it can also be heavy. Whether you're celebrating an answered prayer, facing a difficult season, carrying a burden, or simply needing encouragement, we want you to know that you are not alone.
At Community Covenant Church, we believe God hears prayer and that something powerful happens when God's people pray for one another.
Our Prayer Team is available after every service and would be honored to pray with you-whether your request feels big, small, or somewhere in between. No judgment. No pressure. Just people who care and want to seek God alongside you.
Can't stay after service? You can also submit a prayer request using the Prayer Request Tool below. Every request is received with care, prayed over faithfully, and treated with appropriate confidentiality.
Whatever you're carrying today, don't carry it by yourself. Let us pray with you.
