Thank you for taking the time to look at our church.  My wife Trish and I are newcomers to Irvine.  I certainly saw God at work when I left my previous 10-year ministry in South Georgia to come here. I know God is working in this place.

This church body has a core of people that have grown up in this area, but we also have a variety of other people, like myself, that have moved into the area from other states. We are a church of various backgrounds with some raised Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and charismatic.  The one thing that unites us is that we all love Jesus Christ and we believe that He is the only way of salvation. He is our Savior and our Lord.  We believe in the Bible is the inspired  Word of God and that it is living and active. It is the basis for how we treat each other and how the church functions. We are independent, not tied to any denomination. Like the early followers of Jesus, we simply call ourselves Christians or disciples of Jesus.  We're not saying that we are the only Christians, but we are Christians only. Our mission is to glorify God and share with all that we meet the love of Jesus and His power to transform lives.  We are excited about the direction that the Lord is leading us. 

I pray that you will join us for our worship service. I believe you will find the people here to be welcoming and very authentic.
