More than a church

Shekinah means the glory of God dwelling with his people. That is what we pray for each Sunday: a place where love, guidance and forgiveness are real, and where every generation has room. Here you will be loved and treated as part of our family, and part of God's family.

We are a generational ministry, started in remembrance of Pastor Anthony Sepulveda and led today by Pastor Julie Sepulveda, with our ministers and worship team beside her. We focus on teaching Bible-based principles, and we invite you to come and serve with the gifts God has blessed you with.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.Joshua 24:15

Pastor Tony

In loving memory

You are invited!

One of our greatest joys is seeing new faces come through the door on Sunday.

Whether you have never been to church, or you are looking for a church to call home, we would love to see you. Come on in.
