Rend The Heavens

Join us in the 40 days leading up to Pentecost Sunday as we gather to pray, fast, and ask the Lord to Rend The Heavens. Rend can simply be translated as, “Open Up.” We find this in Isaiah 64 verses 1 through 11. In these trying (and exciting) times, we are asking for God’s Mercy and direction as we seek revival in our community. As we have added a 3rd Sunday service, and a service on Saturday night, it is abundantly clear that the Holy Spirit is moving and God’s people are hungry to hear from His Word. In addition to our Tuesday and Thursday morning prayer meetings, we will be gathering at the church Wednesday night @ 6:30pm, every week until May 23rd. If you cannot join us in person, please join us in prayer from wherever you are as we ask the Lord to Rend The Heavens.

Roe V. Wade Movie Screening

We are hosting a movie screening of the new Roe v. Wade movie which tells the story of the infamous abortion decision’s genesis. Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Dr. Mildred Jefferson square off in a Supreme Court battle that leads to a controversial verdict on abortion. Learn the untold and little known story behind the decision that brought abortion-on-demand to America. Join us April 21 at 6 PM in the Sanctuary. 

Missions Minded

Missions Minded is an opportunity to learn and participate in what God is doing around the world.  Every other month you can get to know a few of the missionaries we are supporting in various parts of the world, the work they are doing, and become aware of how you can get involved in a deeper way with the work God is doing through them.  Join us on Sunday, April 25 for our kick off event as we take a look at what God is doing through our Missionaries in Europe.

Celebration BBQ

It’s time to celebrate! In 1 Thessalonians it says to “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Join us as we celebrate and give thanks to the Lord for Ventura County’s decision to drop the lawsuit against Godspeak! We’ll see you on Saturday May 1 at 4:30 PM for some BBQ in the back parking lot. After we celebrate we’ll gather in the sanctuary at 6 PM for our Saturday Night service

Spring Weekend of Baptisms

Join us for our quarterly baptism services as we encourage anyone that has yet to make a public profession of their faith in Jesus Christ to get baptised in the presence of their church family. At Godspeak we incorporate baptisms into our normal weekend services; Sunday at 9am, 11am, and 1pm and then Saturday at 6:00pm. There is no need to sign up or register, just come ready to get baptized! Don’t forget a towel and a change of clothes!

Sonshiners Gathering

Our SonShiner’s Ministry is back! Our monthly gatherings will start on April 22 with a special presentation by Pastor Jerry. Since we’re living in tumultuous times, join us as our own Pastor Jerry shares Self-Defense Awareness for Seniors. Because of his expansive experience as a Supervising Criminal Investigator for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office for 28 years, a Reserve LAPD Chaplain, and a Level 3 Police Academy Instructor, he will be able to provide us invaluable information to help keep us safe. See you there at 10am in the Multi-Purpose Room!  You can sign up at the SonShiner’s table in the lobby after Sunday services or email Linda at [email protected].

Sonshiners Women’s Bible Study

We’re excited to announce a new 7 week SonShiner’s Women’s Bible Study!  SonShiner’s ministers to our congregants who are 55 and over. Our new Bible Study is called 1st Corinthians: Living Love When We Disagree by Melissa Spoeltra.  In this 7-week study, we explore Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and learn how as Christians we are to deal with conflict and divisions – in our homes, families, neighborhoods, social media, communities, etc. We’ll discover how to handle our differences with humility  and grace always showing the radical love of Jesus Christ and we’ll find encouragement and practical help for walking this out in our daily lives. Join us Thursdays at 10am starting April 15th in the Multi-Purpose Room.  You can sign up at the SonShiner’s table in the lobby after Sunday services or email Linda at [email protected].

Saturday Night Service

In addition to our current 3 Sunday services, we’ve added a full Saturday evening service at 6pm. Our congregation is growing exponentially and we’re working hard to accommodate everyone. We will spend time worshiping Jesus, studying His word, and fellowshipping together. Our Children’s Ministry will also be open as our Kid’s learn about God’s Word in an age appropriate setting.  We hope to see you there!

Anchored in God’s Word – 2 Year Bible Reading Plan

Investing yourself in the Word of God is the best thing you can do for your personal walk with the Lord. Revival comes to the human soul when the Spirit of God works through the Word of God to transform the lives of the people of God. And the more you get to know your Bible, the more you get to know God. Your life will never be the same when you begin to read God’s Word consistently.
