Please read Nehemiah 6 to prepare for the Sunday sermon.
Hello Community Covenant Church of Goleta!
This is it for May, but not for Nehemiah!
We've watched Nehemiah face opposition against their great project both from outside the wall and inside the wall. As we read ahead into chapter 6, we see both sides ganging up on a campaign of lies designed to erode trust. This week, we remember that we stand on the basis of truth-telling!
God is moving at Community Covenant. We encourage you to take a moment to explore the updates below and see where God might be inviting you next. Connect with us and we will help you grow in your relationship with Christ and the building of His Kingdom!
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
Outdoor Worship & Church BBQ Sunday, June 7th | 10:00am | Community Covenant Church Back Lawn
Join us on Sunday, June 7th for a special Outdoor Worship Service at Community Covenant Church of Goleta!
We're looking forward to gathering together on the back lawn for worship, teaching, fellowship, and a meaningful morning together as a church family.
After the service, stick around for a church-wide BBQ and potluck!
The church will provide drinks, plates, utensils, and BBQ grills. We're inviting everyone to bring:
• Meat for your family or group to throw on the BBQ (Picnic lunch ok too)
• A side dish or dessert to share potluck-style
• A chair or blanket for the outdoor service
Family Friendly Service - there will be no kids ministry this Sunday!
There will be lawn games, great food, and plenty of time to connect together as a church community.
And don't forget:

• Come hungry
• Bring your own chair or blanket for seating
Please Note: Service will be held OUTDOORS at 10:00am on the CCC back lawn.

Women's Retreat | June 6, 2026
The Women's Ministry Team of Community Covenant Church is planning our 2nd annual Women's Retreat with Andrea Gurney! We had an uplifting, encouraging, fruitful time with Andrea last October, and she has more to share with us, so we have invited her to be with us again. ?
This retreat will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 9-1. (It will end with a lovely lunch together.)
Please mark your calendar now, and feel free to invite a friend. This will be a sweet time to get to know one another better, and to grow deeper with the God who loves us more than we can imagine!
Registration fee is $25 and you can click the button below!
Note: Sponsorships are available. Ask Lisa Call for details.
Ladies, we hope to see you there!
Invite a friend or neighbor to join you!
At Community Covenant Church, one of the things we love most about Sundays is the way people are welcomed-through warm conversations, meaningful connections, and a genuine sense of belonging. Our greeting time and fellowship moments are a true reflection of that.
We're so grateful for our current greeter and usher team, who faithfully serve each week to help create that kind of environment.
As our church continues to grow, we're looking to expand this team-and we'd love for you to be part of it.
If you're interested in helping create a welcoming Sunday morning experience, we invite you to join us for a Greeter & Usher Open Gathering. This will be a simple, no-pressure time to learn more about what it looks like to serve in these roles and how you can get involved.
Sunday, May 31 9:00 AM In the Media Room
If you have any questions, feel free to connect with Brandon Read, our Pastor of Students and Connections.
Kids in for Musical Worship all Summer!
As we head into the summer season, we're excited for a special opportunity for our kids and families to worship together as a church community. Beginning Sunday, June 14th, Kids Check-In will move to the Welcome Tent for the summer, and our kids will join the congregation for musical worship before heading to their classes. Nursery will still be running as normal.
We love creating space for the next generation to see and experience the church worshipping together-singing, praying, and gathering as one family in Christ. We believe these moments help shape and disciple our kids as they learn what it means to follow Jesus alongside the larger church community.
Marriage Workshop with Andrea Gurney
We are promoting a special marriage workshop hosted by Santa Barbara Community Church featuring Dr. Andrea Gurney. Couples can register using the link below.
He Said, She Said, We Said: The Art and Science of Communication
An encouraging and practical evening designed to help strengthen your marriage and deepen communication.
Why do simple conversations sometimes turn into frustration or misunderstanding? Why does one person want to process while the other wants to solve the issue and move on? Communication is shaped by personality, experiences, emotions, and habits-and healthy communication can be learned.
In this fun, date-night-style workshop, Dr. Andrea Gurney will help couples better understand what's happening beneath the surface in everyday conversations and provide practical tools to move from conflict and confusion toward connection and understanding.
Feeling overwhelmed or in need of extra support? We're here for you. Our prayer team would be honored to pray with you after the service-whether you're facing something big or simply need encouragement.
You can also submit a request through our Prayer Request Tool (see the blue button below). Every request is handled with love, care, and compassion.
Let's connect through the power of prayer. You don't have to walk this journey alone. ??
