take the Good News of the Saving Gospel of Jesus Christ to as many men,

women and children as possible.

PHILOSOPHY: "Our purpose as a church, according to Jesus, is to love

the Lord with all our heart -- love one another -- and love the "lost" as

we share the Gospel everywhere we can. Our desire is to lead as many as

we can to Jesus Christ and to equip as many as we can to serve Jesus

Christ and to send as many as we can into various fields of ministry,

locally andglobally." The church has a very strong missions focus that is

supported by a strong and growing congregation.

CHURCH DESIGN: The congregation currently meets in a renovated

warehouse while members look for permanent facilities in Huntington

Beach. They recently converted the fellowship area into the Common Ground

Cafe. The cafe has an espresso machine and quite a menu. The renovation

allows members to linger over coffee and enjoy each other's company a bit

longer. The church plans to build a mission-style facility to house a

K-12 Christian school, a Bible college and a missionary training school

along with its other facilities. While actively pursuing adequate

property to meet its ministry needs, the congregation retains its

philosophy that the primary important focus is the people; any building

will be left behind one day. Lives touched are of eternal value.

INTERESTING NOTE: Psalm 90:16-17 is the congregation's request to God.

It reads, "Let your work appear to your servants, and your glory to their

children. And let the beauty of the lord our God be upon us. And

establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our

hands."
