All are welcome, bring a friend and your curiosity.
Bring your questions,
your doubts, and your friends.
The first round of conversation is always on us.
Got Questions about God?
Got Questions About God?
Everybody’s got questions.
Big ones.
Messy ones.
Honest ones.
Like.. Is there a God?
Why does He allow suffering?
Can I really trust the Bible?
Here’s the good news: God isn’t scared of your questions. And neither are we.
That’s why we’re starting a brand-new series called Got Questions About God.
We’re creating space for the skeptic, the seeker, and the believer who still wonders late at night. No fake answers. No churchy clichés.
Just real talk, straight from Scripture,
about the things that matter most.
Bring your doubts. Bring your curiosity.
Bring your friends.
Because the God who made you isn’t hiding from your questions,
He’s ready to meet you in them.
📅 Sundays at 10 AM
📍 Oceanside, CA – Just off El Camino Real
👨👩👧👦 Family-friendly worship | Preschool Families Welcome
Or watch online and share with someone ready to take Jesus at His word.
🎹 You’ve Never Heard Oceanside Like This.
Four grand pianos on our stage in the round.
Up to sixteen players. Classical, Contemporary, maybe even some ragtime and more power than you thought piano keys could hold.
For one night only: Sunday, October 26th at 4 p.m.
This isn’t background music.
It’s a once-a-year event that fills the room, shakes the walls, and pulls our community together.
If you miss it, you’ll hear about it… from everyone who didn’t.
Seats are free—but space is limited.
Make your plan now. Save your spot today.
