Please read Ephesians 2.19-22 to prepare for the sermon.
Hello Community Covenant Church of Goleta!
Welcome, CCC family! We're grateful for another week to worship God and share life together. As we move into this Fall season, each Sunday gives us an opportunity to pause, encourage one another, and turn our hearts toward the God who is worthy of our worship.
We've been learning that there are a few answers to the question, "Why the Church?" This week, take a look at Ephesians 2.11-22. Of all amazing thoughts, the Church is the place that God has chosen to take up residency. In other words, church is the place to be!
We hope you'll stick around after worship this Sunday for coffee, treats, and conversation. Take a little time to catch up with friends, meet someone new, and get to know our church family better. This week, our Fellowship Team will handle setup and cleanup, and if your last name begins with G-M, please bring a treat to share. Thank you for making this time together possible!
Fall Fest is almost here! We're looking forward to welcoming our neighbors for an afternoon of fun, and we need your help to make it happen. Please sign up online or at the Welcome Table to serve, and invite your friends and family to join us!
Read on below for Fall Fest details and more of what's coming up at CCC. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

Community Covenant Mid Year Meeting
Sunday, October 25 after the service
Join us for our Mid-Year Congregational Meeting on Sunday, October 25, right after the worship service. Grab a cup of coffee, then head back to the sanctuary for important updates from Pastor Eric and our Leadership Board.
As a church family, we have the privilege of sharing in the life and direction of our congregation. Come hear about key issues facing our church and pray together for God's guidance in the months ahead. We'd love to have you join us!
Are You Interested in Becoming An Active Member of Community Covenant?
Our church has "Community" in its name on purpose. We want to be people centered on Jesus, growing in faith and living it out together. Our purpose is to cultivate a community that strives to love God, follow Jesus and serve others-and we'd love to help you discover your place in that community.
Join us for our two-week New Members Class on November 8 and 15, after the Sunday service. Over lunch and conversation, we'll explore what we believe, how our purpose shapes life at Community Covenant Church, and what it means to become a member.
Whether you're ready to pursue membership or simply want to learn more, you're welcome! There's no obligation to become a member, but attending both sessions is required for those who choose to take that step.
Life can be beautiful, but it can also be heavy. Whether you're celebrating an answered prayer, facing a difficult season, carrying a burden, or simply needing encouragement, we want you to know that you are not alone.
At Community Covenant Church, we believe God hears prayer and that something powerful happens when God's people pray for one another.
Our Prayer Team is available after every service and would be honored to pray with you-whether your request feels big, small, or somewhere in between. No judgment. No pressure. Just people who care and want to seek God alongside you.
Can't stay after service? You can also submit a prayer request using the Prayer Request Tool below. Every request is received with care, prayed over faithfully, and treated with appropriate confidentiality.
Whatever you're carrying today, don't carry it by yourself. Let us pray with you.
