| (Friday) Centralized Small group | Looking for a place to build connections, grow spiritually, and share life together? Join our 13-week small group as we meet every Friday night at the church office.
This is a space where you can be yourself. We'll explore the Bible, support one another through life's challenges, and celebrate our wins together.
Our centralized location makes it easy to attend, and we welcome everyone—whether you're new to faith or have been on this journey for a while.
想找個能建立連結、靈命成長、並一起分享生活的地方嗎？歡迎加入我們的13週小組！我們每週五晚上在教會辦公室聚會。
在這裡，你可以自在地做自己。我們將一起深入查考聖經、在生活中彼此支持，並一同慶祝喜悅的時刻。
這個小組地點集中，方便大家參與。無論你是剛接觸信仰，或是已經走在這條路上很長一段時間，都歡迎你的加入。 | |
| >Faith Fridays (biweekly starts 9/25) - Friendship with Jesus | Join us every other Friday for engaging, Scripture-based video and book studies that deepen faith, build community, and apply God's Word to everyday life. **No homework!**
** Fall Semester 2026: Walk and talk with Jesus like he's here ... because -- he is! Encounter Jesus in a fresh way as you take him at his word more actively and specifically. Adopt simple patterns to experience a deeper friendship with Jesus. Discover how he is in front of you, leading you by His Spirit. He calls you to follow him as soon as he speaks -- and to trust him in every area of your life. Let's "practice his presence" together! We meet every 2 weeks (alternate Fridays). | |
| >Tame Your Thoughts! - Based on the book by Max Lucado | Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to: (1) Take thoughts captive, (2) Test each message against the truth of Scripture, (3) Interrupt poisonous thought threads, (4) Think and act like Jesus. Join us on this journey to MANAGE our lives by BETTER managing our thoughts. Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! Women only. Based on the book by Max Lucado. Meets EVERY 2 WEEKS (only). | |

| ⚔️ Men Who Fight: Imagine Your Life Without Porn (In-Person) | https://tinyurl.com/mwf-fall2026 - Listen to the audio (5 min)
From the outside, your life looks fine. You work hard. You care about your faith. Nobody would guess porn is still part of it.
That's exactly why it's so easy to keep putting off quitting.
Men Who Fight is a confidential, structured 12-week discipleship group for Christian men who are done managing this and ready to actually be free.
Through God's Word, prayer, brotherhood, and accountability, we're pursuing integrity - becoming men whose private lives reflect their faith.
Last fall, 7 of the 9 men who committed finished the 12 weeks walking in real freedom.
"Porn and masturbation free for over 100 days… it feels like I sent my brain to be rebuilt."
You don't need to hit rock bottom. You do need to commit, show up, tell the truth, and do the work. And you don't have to fight alone.
You already know what your life looks like with porn still in it. Maybe it's time to find out what it could look like without it.

ABOUT SMALL GROUPS
1. Small groups have a straightforward purpose—to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in community with others, and only then can we experience the whole life He intends for us.
2. Meaningful relationships can be hard to find, and small groups exist to put life-changing relationships within reach for everyone.
3. We grow larger to reach as many people as possible with the life-giving message of Jesus. We currently have about nine members in this group.
4. We gather in Small Groups to build community, care for people, and grow spiritually.
5. Small groups become a place where others don't just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life and want to support you in your spiritual journey. | |

| Bible Based Yoga | We are forming a group of active adults who are interested in deepening their spirituality through yoga.

| Bible Book Club | Do you ever watch a movie or read something and ask yourself if this is the way people “really” are or the way life really is or even if God is the way they say He is (in that book or movie)? Do you ever want to see for yourself without anyone having to tell you these things?
That’s our goal in our small group Bible study. We’re going through the Old Testament, which can seem like a lot of material, but we’re taking just one chapter each day. That will add up to seven chapters each week.
The Old Testament shows us what people are “really” like. We get to see where life actually came from and where the cultures of the world are heading. That understanding alone can help you in the problems that you face.
God has some amazing promises throughout the Old Testament. You can take those and claim them when life gets rough. You won’t know about them unless you read it for yourself. So we’ll talk about that in our time together.
There is hope. You can filter misinformation from the culture. God does have a plan for your life. That’s why it’s so important to go back into the Old Testament.
(This is an on-going small group that continues each semester. We started two years ago in Genesis and are currently in Psalms.) | |

| Bilingual Message Discussion Group | We discuss the Saddleback message every second and forth Tuesday from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.(Pacific time-PT)
Whether you're an English speaker or a Mandarin speaker, or if you can speak both languages, all are welcome.
The idea started to help Chinese immigrants know Jesus while helping them improve their Language skills, but after searching ChatGPT, We found there are so many benefits:
🌍 Spiritual & Cultural Benefits
1. Deeper understanding of the message — Hearing and discussing the same sermon in two languages helps members understand the meaning more fully, sometimes catching nuances they might miss in one language.
2. Unity in diversity — It brings together believers from different cultural and language backgrounds, helping the church feel like one body even when members speak other languages.
3. Sharing perspectives — People from different cultures may notice different insights or applications from the same message, enriching everyone’s faith.
🗣 Language & Communication Benefits
1. Improved language skills — Members can practice a second language in a natural, meaningful way while discussing spiritual topics.
2. Better cross-cultural communication — It helps members learn to listen, understand, and respect each other across language barriers — valuable not just in church, but in life.
3. Confidence in sharing faith — Practicing bilingual discussion builds confidence to share the Gospel with people in both languages.
🤝 Community & Relationship Benefits
1. Closer fellowship — Small-group discussions build relationships; bilingual ones connect people who otherwise might never talk to each other.
2. Mentorship opportunities — Stronger bilingual believers can help newer ones grow both spiritually and linguistically.
3. Inclusion — No one feels left out because of language — it shows that every member is valued equally.
🏗 Practical Church Benefits
1. Support for bilingual ministries — Helps prepare members to serve as translators, worship leaders, or group leaders in a multilingual church setting.
2. Outreach-ready — A bilingual group can welcome newcomers, visitors, or seekers from either language background, making evangelism easier.
3. Strengthens church unity — Instead of having separate groups that rarely interact, this model helps the whole church feel like one family.
Suggestion: You may install WhatsApp on your computer for English-only and Mandarin-only speakers. It will be easier for you to attend the meeting and use the speech-to-text app.

| Prodigal & Co. | Prodigal & Co. is a fellowship for prodigal sons and daughters—people who know they are imperfect, sometimes messy, and always in need of Jesus. We don't gather because we've figured life out. We gather because we need Christ and we need each other. This is a second-grace place: a community where we can be honest about our struggles, receive and extend grace, take responsibility when we stumble, and keep finding our way back to Jesus. We believe that relapse, failure, and setbacks can happen. We don't glorify them or pretend they don't matter. We bring them into the light, learn from them, encourage one another, and keep walking. Jesus is our North Star, our anchor, and our highest standard. Scripture is our foundation and has the final say. Some conversations go deep. We excavate the things beneath the things—faith, failure, relationships, identity, wounds, desires, and the ways God is growing us. Other conversations devolve into coffee, food, terrible jokes, and glorious kalokohan. Both belong here. We meet in cafés and on Sunday afternoons after church, often alongside one another as volunteers serving the church. Whether we're wrestling with something serious or laughing about something completely ridiculous, our common ground remains the same: Jesus Christ. We're a bunch of people who know we're a mess, love Jesus, tell the truth, help each other get back up, and occasionally make complete fools of ourselves together. Prodigal & Co.
Dirt Monkeys — a fellowship of grace, accountability & growth. | |
