Ministry Highlights

2025 Easter Offering

Dear Church Family,

As we have done for many years now, this year’s Easter Offering will go to Global Outreach Ministries.

In the past this special offering has provided funding for projects and opportunities beyond what is in our regular budget. Through your generosity, in past years we have purchased books for the Greek Bible College library, provided funding for relief ministries in Ukraine, paid for missionary visitations, enabled missionaries to attend conferences, provided earthquake relief in Morocco and many other things. You will find giving envelopes in your Sunday bulletin.

Thank you for your support and generosity,

Pastor Dave

Fire Relief Fund

A Fire Relief Fund has been established to support and care for SGCC families impacted by the recent Eaton Fire.

To give to the fund, you can simply earmark your gift “Fire Relief Fund” or give online and select the drop-down menu especially for this fund.

Thank you for your generosity and your prayers for our church family.

Assistive Listening System Available in Sanctuary

We offer an Assistive Listening System in the Sanctuary for those that have mild to moderate hearing loss. These small devices will provide direct audio during the entire worship service and will allow you to adjust the volume to meet your individual needs. You must sit in the main center section of the sanctuary to use the system. The system is not available in the North or South chapels.

If you would like to take advantage of this new system, please stop by the sound booth.
