7th - 9th Grade
The Bridge program is designed to anchor students in their faith as they navigate the exciting and challenging transition from elementary school to high school. Meeting every Tuesday night, students gather for a fun-filled evening with snacks, games, and an enriching small group experience. Here, students from various schools in the Santa Barbara area come together to build lasting friendships, grow in their understanding of God’s word, and support one another. The Bridge offers a safe, welcoming space where students can deepen their faith and confidently face the changes ahead.

PreK - 6th Grade
Our Sunday School program is designed to be fun and affirming for children of all ages, helping them grow in their faith in a safe and welcoming environment. In the Nursery (0-2 years), our littlest ones are lovingly cared for while in Preschool (3-5 years), children experience interactive Bible stories, worship, and hands-on activities to discover God’s love. In Elementary (K-6th grade), kids enjoy dynamic worship and storytelling in a large-group setting, followed by small groups where they build relationships and apply biblical lessons in meaningful ways.

Birth - PreK
Nursery Program is a safe and nurturing environment designed especially for our youngest children. Open every Sunday from 9:45 am to 11:15 am, our nursery is staffed by exceptionally loving, trained volunteers who delight in caring for little ones. Parents are invited to take a quick tour of the bright and welcoming facilities upon arrival, and each family receives a pager at drop-off so we can reach them discreetly if needed. With excellent care, engaging spaces, and a focus on helping every child feel secure and loved, our Nursery Program provides peace of mind for parents and a joyful first church experience for children.
