The Mission We Share

What does it mean to truly live on mission? In this message, we explore the prophetic assignment God has placed on our church and our individual lives. When God calls us to something new, it can stir questions, fears, and even hesitation—but He is always faithful to lead us forward. Let’s surrender our ‘me considerations’ and embrace His mission together!

Called By A New Name Part 2

What’s in a name? More than you might think! In this message, we explore how a name reflects identity, purpose, and even God’s transformative power. Drawing from Scripture and the story of the past two years, learn why we’re considering a new name: VIDA CHURCH. This is a dual-language, Spanish-English name, that speaks to the LIFE we have in Jesus.

Discover how:
• Vida Church reflects our church's unique identity.
• Vida Church builds bridges into our local community.
• Vida Church communicates the heart of the Gospel.

We believe that oneness in Christ transcends everything that could divide us: language and culture, ethnicity and nation of origin, gender and social status. And this potential new name — Vida Church — represents a powerful unity that could amplify the mission of Jesus in northwest Santa Maria and beyond.

Called By A New Name

Names are important — not just to us but to God! Uncover how God uses name changes to reveal His purpose, and find out why our church might adopt a new name.

In this message you'll see how God used new names (for Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Peter) to signal new prophetic assignments. This is an important conversation for our historic church as we consider adopting a new name to better connect with our community, letting people know who we are and what we're about.

Here’s what you’ll discover:
- How name changes in Scripture reflect God’s calling
- The "why" behind our church’s potential name shift
- Why a name that's geared for "insiders" may no longer be helpful

Gain fresh perspective on God’s unchanging love in the middle of life’s changes. Hit play and join us in this faith-filled exploration — your next step toward purpose awaits!

Fighting Gravity: Breaking Free from What Holds You Back – Going All In Part 2

What do physics and personal transformation have in common? More than you might think.

For those seeking genuine transformation, this message offers clear, actionable steps forward.
