Church Life

Santa Barbara Community Church meets on Sunday afternoons for two services, from 4:00 to 5:30pm and from 6:00 to 7:30pm for a time of teaching, worship, and fellowship. We are currently meeting at Living Faith Center, 4597 Hollister Ave (near Turnpike and Hollister). Sunday services are preceded by a half-hour of prayer, which begins at 3:30pm in Room G upstairs in the balcony. All are welcome.

During our Sunday meetings, child care is provided for infants and toddlers, and our Sunday School classes are conducted during the first service for children up through high school. Our services begin with all the children present. After a time of singing, the children are dismissed to their child care and classes. Teaching and supervision is provided by members of the body on a rotating basis.

A substantial part of our church life are our mid-week Home Groups. These are times of more intimate fellowship, study and worship. Participation in these groups in highly encouraged, as a large part of our body life stems from these weekly meetings.

Santa Barbara Community Church is involved in a variety of ministries in our community and throughout the world. A partial list of ministries include: Transition House, Young Life, InterVarsity, World Relief, Life Network, and Prison Fellowship. In addition, we partner with a sister church in La Pradera Honduras, and we support Byron and Lisa Borden as missionaries to Kenya and Scott and Donna Grandi in Taiwan. All members of the community are encouraged to be involved in these and other ministries.

Your questions and comments about the life of our body are welcome. Please feel free to contact the pastors of the church.
