    What We Can Learn from Our Special Needs Children and Friends

    Parenting children with special needs can have special challenges. But it can also teach us lessons about how unexpected hardships can bring us pure joy.

Welcome

We’re glad you’re here

Jesus was a simple man with a simple plan to make God known. Together, we constantly look at Jesus through God’s Word, inspired to become whatever destiny requires so that we can give hope to the many still unfamiliar with God’s amazing love. We do this by building a community rooted in the Bible, fostering deep spiritual friendships, and doing good in our community.

We meet in eight Sunday service locations across the Bay Area, and our small groups meet throughout the week.

We hope you will join us in our mission to create a non-traditional, non-denominational, life-changing church.

Getting connected

We are a church dedicated to walking with God.

We believe that what makes church special is not only the Sunday sermon, but also the spiritual connections we build with God and each other.
