Theology On Tap
Theology on Tap is monthly conversations in an informal setting, with "men talking like men" about God. The topics are chosen to challenge the group, and the discussion leader always offers a few resources to prepare everyone before the meeting.
You don't need to be a scholar, but you do need to be male, 18 years or older, a regular attender of Sovereign Grace, and willing to commit to a series of meetings.
Third Thursdays. Space is limited. Register here.

Learn to write.
We need men and women who can serve the Lord by writing well. It's part of what we do. The church is called to communicate what we know and see...the truth about God and God's activity in the world today.
Blogs. Print. Social Media.
Pastor Eric will be leading a small discussion group through Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark. Four evenings at the church offices. Light homework. 10/1, 10/15, 11/5, 11/19. 7-9pm.
We want to hire one of the above.
God is at work in and through us and it's time to employ someone to help administrate our shared ministry. This is thrilling. Be encouraged. Thank God for all the pieces coming together. Our pastors and the Finance and Law Committee are eager to see us find the right person to fill one of these positions.
Why not hire another pastor?
This is a fair question, especially given the potential candidates in our congregation. First, the current need is for administrating existing ministry rather than expanding our capacity to do more ministry. Our best strategy at the moment will be to help our leaders lead rather than introduce new leadership. Second, employing a pastor would potentially represent a greater commitment to the new hire and our congregation. We're not ready for this. Thirdly, our budget allows for administrative staffing. We do not yet have the funding to employ a second pastor.
Why two job postings?
We are prepared to fill one position, but believe both are necessary. You might say we are casting our net wide and praying God will lead us to employ the right person.
Who should apply?
It doesn't hurt to ask. We'll be nice if you aren't the right person. Everyone who loves Jesus and wants to see the gospel advance and God's church prosper in Southern California should apply.
Over the last year Pastor Mike has been working with a group of men to develop a method for training us (the church) to better counsel one another. We believe you are called to do this. God has given us His word and filled you with His Spirit. This is your ministry to one another, both formally and informally.
It's your turn.
We are offering a Biblical Counseling Course for a limited number of participants. You can read the syllabus below and register for the course here. Please consider applying. We need men and women in our congregation that can speak truth.
Class dates: Nov 17, Feb 16, May 17, Aug 16.
