What does it mean to truly live on mission? In this message, we explore the prophetic assignment God has placed on our church and our individual lives. When God calls us to something new, it can stir questions, fears, and even hesitation—but He is always faithful to lead us forward. Let’s surrender our ‘me considerations’ and embrace His mission together!

What’s in a name? More than you might think! In this message, we explore how a name reflects identity, purpose, and even God’s transformative power. Drawing from Scripture and the story of the past two years, learn why we’re considering a new name: VIDA CHURCH. This is a dual-language, Spanish-English name, that speaks to the LIFE we have in Jesus.

Discover how:

We believe that oneness in Christ transcends everything that could divide us: language and culture, ethnicity and nation of origin, gender and social status. And this potential new name — Vida Church — represents a powerful unity that could amplify the mission of Jesus in northwest Santa Maria and beyond.

Names are important — not just to us but to God! Uncover how God uses name changes to reveal His purpose, and find out why our church might adopt a new name.

In this message you'll see how God used new names (for Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Peter) to signal new prophetic assignments. This is an important conversation for our historic church as we consider adopting a new name to better connect with our community, letting people know who we are and what we're about.
