Pastor Matthew hosts Sacred Place LIVE! each Tuesday + Thursday at 5:30 pm with music + reflections.
Join us for our digital coffee hour & fellowship time, gather with our kids for story time, or find a small group.
Pastor Matthew shares his story and invites others together on his podcast, “Create Sacred Places.”
We are a young church based in Rancho Cucamonga. Imagine a modern church where all are truly welcome—an inclusive church where there are no limits based on sexual orientation gender identity, socioeconomic status, citizenship, or marital status. This is a place for families to raise up children with love for neighbor and creation. We are a faith family with a deep history of loving Jesus and living into new ways of being Church. Our gatherings invoke ancient and new ways. Join us for the adventure of being a church working to increase justice, inclusion, and family in our world amidst these uncertain times.
We believe that as a people who fight for justice, inclusion, and family that everyone’s safety must be at the forefront of our ministry. This health crisis provides us the opportunity as a new church to think outside-the-box and imagine what the Church can be in a constantly changing world. We invite you to gather with us as we respond to the needs around us. Once it is safe to do so for everyone, we will gather in person again. We offer a live stream of curated content hosted by Pastor Matthew each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1:30 pm, digital face-to-face Family Time on Sundays, various small groups, and weekly story times for kids.
Justice-making is often daunting when our world feels so unjust at times. Finding something tangible that will actually have an impact can be difficult, but it is rewarding—not just for us who do the work, but for those who benefit from that work. Including others in our world takes intentional effort to create places of welcome, places of safety, places of belonging. That work extends far beyond our online gatherings. Sustaining the family of God starts with ourselves and grows to include the community around us.
Mission Sundays are just one day each month for us for us to find one small way of living out our mission, but that time is good and it’s real. This is a way to put our actions in line with our hearts. That’s the kind of Sacred Place we work hard to create: one that does the work of justice in our world, even in small ways. It’s at the heart of who we are called to be and who we work hard to be. This is your Sacred Place.
