Worship Services
Our Sunday worship gatherings feature liturgical worship with contemporary elements. The Agoura Hills campus meets at 10:30 AM while the Thousand Oaks location offers an earlier 8:45 AM service. Both locations emphasize Scripture-based preaching and sacramental practices. Visitors consistently note the welcoming atmosphere and musical excellence at both campuses.
Bible Study
We offer multiple weekly Bible study opportunities for all age groups. These sessions focus on deepening understanding of Scripture through guided discussions and theological exploration. Participants appreciate the accessible teaching style that makes complex biblical concepts relevant to modern life while maintaining doctrinal integrity.
Community Outreach
Our congregations actively engage in local service initiatives through partnerships with regional nonprofits. Outreach programs include food distribution, homeless support, and youth mentorship. We believe practical expressions of faith demonstrate Christ's love in tangible ways that strengthen both individual faith and community bonds.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral support includes visitation, counseling, and spiritual direction for congregation members. Pastor Matthew Nolte and associate staff provide compassionate care during life's challenges. This ministry extends to hospital visits, prayer requests, and personalized spiritual development guidance for individuals and families.
Youth Programs
Our youth programs engage children and teens through age-appropriate faith formation activities. Sunday School, confirmation classes, and special events teach biblical foundations while fostering peer connections. Parents value the safe environment where young people develop lasting faith relationships.
