We are a Jesus-centered community reimagining inclusive spaces to rest, restore, belong, and become.

This Sunday, we begin a new series through the Book of Acts, following a community of Jesus followers learning how to become a people together in a world shaped by power, division, uncertainty, and change.

Acts begins with Jesus leaving. The disciples have experienced his death, resurrection, and ascension—and now they are left without a clear plan. They are given a promise instead: the Spirit will come, and they will not be alone.

Throughout this series, we’ll follow the Spirit as the one gathering an unlikely people, crossing boundaries, disrupting expectations, and creating a community that embodies a different way of being in the world.

The early church doesn’t have a blueprint. They learn by following.
And maybe that is good news for us, too. What might it look like for us to trust the Spirit enough to become a different kind of people together?

Join us Sunday at 1030 AM at Guin Foss Elementary as we begin Acts—and learn to follow the Spirit together, without a blueprint.

Run Club is BACK this Sunday, August 23rd before COFFEE HOUSE. Come move your body, bring the kids, meet some people, and then stick around for coffee, pastries, and good vibes. 🤎

🏃 RUN CLUB — 9:30AM
Meet Jesse, Nate + the stroller crew in the Blue Hummingbird Spaces parking lot. We’ll run or walk 1–3 miles — all paces welcome!

It’s going to be HOT, so please bring water. If you’re bringing kiddos in a stroller, we recommend snacks + a stroller fan if you have one. ☀️

And if you don’t know Jesse yet — he’s Dottie’s husband (Jesse is one of the “pastor’s wives” in our community 😄). He loves running and gathering people for stuff like this… so much so that there might even be a cold plunge waiting for us afterward. 👀🧊 Stay tuned!

☕️ COFFEE HOUSE — 10:30AM
📍 Blue Hummingbird Spaces
🥐 Free coffee + pastries
🤎 Good people + good vibes

Run, walk, push a stroller, or skip the miles and just come for coffee. We’d love to see you Sunday!

Questions about Run Club? Reach out to us or come to coffee house early to meet Jesse!

See you Sunday morning! ☕️🏃‍♀️✨

This Sunday, guest preacher Rev. Jaz Bowen-Waring (they/them) preaches from Luke 4:14–21 in a sermon titled Good News Has a Body.

Together, we’ll explore what happens when the living Word of God takes on flesh in diverse bodies. Through a Q***r theological lens, we’ll look at how Jesus embodied Isaiah’s proclamation of liberation—and what it means for us to embody God’s good news in our own lives and communities.

Come be reminded that the Word of God isn’t only something we read or hear—it’s something we’re invited to live, embody, and become together.

You won’t want to miss it.

Did you know our Lead Pastor, Donna, is going on maternity leave this fall? We’re so excited for her and her family! We’re also in good hands this season, with some new staff joining us—we’ll introduce you to them later this week.

In the meantime, one of the values we care deeply about as a community is creating an anti-burnout culture around volunteering. That means we want to provide meaningful opportunities to get involved while also making it clear that it’s okay to say no, to serve only as your capacity allows, and to communicate your boundaries.

As we prepare for Donna’s maternity leave, we have a few volunteer opportunities that will help make this season a success and keep things running smoothly. There’s no expectation to do everything—or even anything! But if one of these opportunities sounds like a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.

We are excited to add another brilliant teacher to our Guest Preacher Lineup this season!

Ciarra Jones (she/her) is a writer, speaker, and public theologian known as The Gardening Theologian. Through her speaking and writing, Ciarra invites communities to explore how gardening can mirror deconstruction—shedding systems of control, embracing new growth, and nurturing collective healing. A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, she connects with more than 180k subscribers across social media. Ciarra creates educational content across theology, politics, workplace inclusion, and ecology. She is also the founder of a well-being consulting firm that teaches secular and sacred institutions how to better care for one another.

Mark your calendars and please join us on September 6 at 10:30am at Guin Foss Elementary in Tustin, CA. We are in for a real treat.

This Sunday, guest preacher Chelsea Kim Long preaches from Matthew 14, the feeding of the 5,000. Together, we’ll explore who gets written down, who gets left out, and God’s math versus ours.

Chelsea Kim Long is a writer, theologian, and meditation teacher exploring Christianity through the lens of women’s embodied experiences and contemplative spirituality. Her work invites readers to reimagine Christianity beyond patriarchy and toward more expansive and inclusive expressions of faith. She lives in San Diego with her husband and three kids, where she coleads an intentional neighborhood faith community grounded in belonging and justice.
