Every six months, we hold a brief members meeting after service which usually lasts about 30 minutes. This meeting is mandatory for all members, but guests are welcome as well. This meeting is a time to communicate what we wouldn’t communicate on a typical Sunday morning. We’ll look back on what God has graciously done in the last 6 months in our church and look forward to where we believe God is taking us as a church.
After a month of cancelling small groups to allow for a December “Fallow Month,” we are excited to resume our small group meetings on the 1st & 3rd Fridays of the month.
Outside of Sunday mornings, small groups are the most important moment in the life of our church. Make it a priority to attend small groups in 2023 in order to encourage one another and be encouraged. To care for others and to be cared for. To point your brothers and sisters to Christ and apply his gospel to their lives, and experience the same.
Prayer is central to our mission. In 2023, on a rotating basis, our small groups will take to the Park on the first Friday of the month to pray for our neighbors. Asking Jesus to save Santa Anans, meet our neighbors according to his grace, and open doors for sharing his gospel and spreading his joy.
The Houlton small group will be kicking off Prayer in the Park on 1/6/23 at 6pm.
Every Tuesday we publish a blog post to lay out in one place what’s going in the life of the church for the upcoming week. See below for a snapshot of what’s on the calendar this week:

Do you want to get in shape, meet more Santa Ana neighbors, and share the gospel in 2023? We’ve got you covered! Our French Park Run Club kicks off this Thursday. Every week we’ll meet up in the middle of the park for a casual run in the middle of our community. We’ll benefit our bodies and build relationships with our neighbors - it’s a win-win!
For the Christian, the new year is a series of opportunities, month by month, day by day, moment by moment to behold Christ. 365 days filled with every providential detail the Lord has designed to set our sights on his Son. Returning to Mark’s Gospel this past Sunday, we came to the section right before the main hinge of the story - Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ (Mk 8:27-9:1) - and encountered 3 stories about spiritual sight. Through them, we’re warned about the blinding effects of unbelief and encouraged by Christ’s eagerness to open our eyes to all he is. We see now "in a mirror dimly" (1 Cor 13:12) yet await that great day when we'll see Jesus "face to face," just "as he is" (1 Jn 3:2). Until then, in every year in between, especially this new year of 2023, our prayer is that the Lord would help us to see Jesus more clearly.
We’re excited to announce our first ever Women’s Seminar! Ladies of Cross of Grace, you’re invited to an afternoon of teaching, fellowship, and unhurried time together at the beautiful Spurgeon Building Atrium. We’ll eat together, enjoy one another’s company, and be encouraged in the gospel by special guest speaker, Charlotte Richardson from Center Church in Glibert, AZ. It’s an afternoon you won’t want to miss.
