The season of Lent begins

Join us as we Gather & Grow together on Wednesday evenings beginning Jan 14^th – Feb 11^th. Together we’ll discuss a newly published book, “Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America.” Written by a pastor & professor duo, this book explores basic Reformed practice and theology, leaning into how we live out our faith in today’s complex world. It covers topics such as lifelong discipleship, being formed in community, and democracy as ‘the Presbyterian way.’ 

Join us as we come together to discuss our churches business from last year and the present.

The event's theme is Past to Future: God’s Work, Our City, the 24th annual Santa Barbara Mission Conference, taking place Saturday, Jan. 31, at First Presbyterian Church. Register by going online at sbmissionconference.org or by filling out a form available in the Narthex and then sending a check.
