Beginning on Easter 2007, 2 great churches with a healthy history in South Orange County — Canyon Hills Church and Rock Hills Church — came together to begin the process of forming one new church community.

A new church community that seeks to put the life and teachings of Jesus on display in tangible ways. A community that engages God with white-hot passion. A community that seeks to bring the presence of Jesus to places and people who are hurting and broken. A community that lives deeply with and sacrifices willingly for one another.

Sadly, it's not a very typical story to hear — churches coming together. But we believe it's a story that makes God smile. You see, God is One. And God loves oneness. He loves bringing people together, uniting them into one.

In June of 2008, we moved into our new space, located just off the freeway, 1 block south of the intersection of Bake & Rockfield, on the corner of Rockfield and Whatney. The environment is warm and friendly. We love it, and hope you will, too.

Since then, we've been pouring all of our efforts into 3 things:

(1) We want to put Jesus on tangible display through creative acts of compassion and kindness here in south O.C. and around the world. We call it "incarnation" and you can check out more about that here.

(2) We want to gather and celebrate God's good news in creative and totally relevant and accessible ways. Gatherings that inspire, music that's full of energy and joy, messages from scriptures that connect with real life. You can find out more about our celebration gatherings here.

(3) We want to be completely transformed by God's words and God's grace so that our lives are becoming more and more like the life that Jesus actually lived. We call this "renovation" and you can see a bit more about that and our small groups here.
