Congratulations to Israel, Bethany, and big brother Lucas!
The twins have arrived. The babies and their mom are healthy. But they showed up early, so they’ll be in the NICU for a few weeks. Join us in praying that they’ll be home soon.
Tim Owens
Just a week ago our sister church, Sovereign Grace Church of Pasadena, said goodbye to one of their pastors of 30 years. But this week they announced that a new pastor and his family are on the way! We thank God for His provision and invite you to join us in praying.
The Secret Sauce of Godliness
“Self-control is likely the difference-maker in the very area of your life you most want to grow.”
C.J. Mahaney
Recently, the founder of our denomination, C.J. Mahaney, preached a sermon on an often overlooked and neglected fruit of the Spirit: self-control. Your pastors found this sermon both helpful and hopeful. We urge you to consider setting aside 40-minutes to benefit from it.

We’re Changing It Back
On Easter we changed the setup of the Woman’s Club garden for our Sunday service in order to make more room. After a month of doing it this way, we’re going back. Sound and shade are the major challenges with our new setup. We’re doing our best to make it as easy as we can for you to participate in our services.
Don’t be surprised when you walk in on Sunday and it’s different. The chairs will be in rows to accommodate more seats, but we’ll be closer to the layout we used before Easter Sunday.
Thanks for being flexible and continuing to participate in our services! God is glorified and we are edified each time we gather.
We love Sundays!
Our Sunday gathering is the one time each week we’re all in the same place. God brings us together to bless us, to speak to us, to proclaim and cherish the gospel, and to build one another up through our presence and gifts.
Ed Welch, a favorite author of ours, has a short video on how to meaningfully engage others on Sunday mornings. If you want to grow in the skill of encouraging others in brief Sunday interactions, take a couple minutes to learn from him.
Baptism is the outward sign of an inward change, a heart that has been made alive by the power of God. Baptisms glorify God, encourage the church, and proclaim the gospel to those who don't yet trust in Christ.
We will be holding a baptism immediately following our Sunday morning service on May 23rd.
If you trust in Christ, get baptized
If you have believed in Jesus but were never baptized then take advantage of this opportunity. Learn more about baptism and fill out the form if you're ready.
Bob Kauflin, the director of Sovereign Grace Music, is in town this week to lead our pastors during their regional retreat. He’s staying through Sunday to preach at our service this week.
We thank God for Bob’s leadership and influence. Much of our practice of corporate worship has been shaped by his biblical, thoughtful, and always gospel-centered guidance. It will be a distinct privilege and joy to have him and his wife Julie with us this Sunday.
