  • Our Promises

  • Visiting a church can be stressful. We've all been where you are right now. So we can say with great confidence that the blessing of finding this church is a rich reward for the stress of the first-time visit.
    We want to do our part to minimize the potential stress of your first visit. Here are our promises to you:

    • You will not be asked to do anything embarrassing. We won't ask you to stand and introduce yourself in the service. We won't ask you to wear a big flower or a special pin that targets you as a guest. We appreciate your visit. We will give you plenty of space to enjoy your time with us.
    • You won't be shaken down for money. We don't apologize for the offering during the worship time. The gifts we give to the Lord are an expression of gratitude and dependence upon God. However, you are not expected to participate in the offering. You will not be asked to pay for the service, the coffee, or the friends you make during your visit.
    • You will be welcomed as you are. There is no dress code at our church. Some people will come wearing a sports coat or dress.  Some people will come to church with a T-shirt and jeans. We come into the presence of God in worship to humbly receive His gifts, not to compare ourselves to others.
    • You will be encouraged to join us in giving thanks to God for all His good gifts.
    • You will discover more about God's active love in our lives and be challenged to experience the fullness of life that is ours as we follow Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a service like?

Our worship is intimate and meaningful. Songs are both contemporary and traditional depending on which campus you choose to visit. “Our service springs from a confessional Lutheran liturgy. Our language is up-to-date and accessible. We begin each service with singing, invoking the presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, listening to the Word and a weekly Gospel message, end the service with Holy Communion (1st, 3rd & 5th Sundays at the Thousand Oaks Campus and 2nd & 4th Sundays at the Agoura Hills Campus) and enter back into the world with praise in our hearts.”

What's the music like?

Worship is a spiritual experience, drawing each individual into a deeper connection with Jesus Christ.  We choose songs that both support our foundational beliefs, but also elevate our souls.

Agoura Hills Campus:  We strive to praise Him with a combination of reverence and joy, aided by our professional musicians on drums, keyboard, and guitar.  We have several singers who serve as song leaders as we 'sing to the Lord a new song' to praise His holy name.

Thousand Oaks Campus: We are a singing church that believes in praising God through congregational hymns, the anthems of our choir, and the magnificent voice of our organ.

How do people dress?

We want you to be comfortable, so come as you are. Dress tends to be modest and casual. Depending on the weather, people wear jeans, shorts, sandals, etc.

Can I take communion?

During communion, we believe that we receive, in, with, and under the bread and wine, the true body and blood of Christ shed on the cross. The same Jesus Christ, who is now risen and ascended to Heaven.

We want everyone to share in this important spiritual blessing.  Because the Bible warns of misuse of this sacrament and the spiritual harm that it can cause, we ask that you speak with the pastor before communing for the first time.

How can I get connected?

There are many ways to connect with us: become a member, join a Bible Study, or get involved in a ministry where you can serve others with your particular gifts, talents, and experiences. Talk to the pastor on Sunday morning to express your desire, and he’ll help put you in touch with the right person.
