A Sacred Roots Sunday Honoring Chamorro Heritage
Sometimes the most powerful moments in community begin with simply making room for one another.
On Sunday, May 31, from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM, South Bay Community Church will gather for Making Room for All Nations, a Sacred Roots Sunday honoring the Chamorro people within our Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander church family.
This will be a meaningful and immersive day of worship and connection. Together we will experience culturally shaped prayer, music, and worship expression, hear a message from a Chamorro guest speaker, and spend time learning through interactive cultural booths that share history, story, and heritage. After service, we will continue the celebration through food, fellowship, and conversation.
This gathering reflects God’s heart for every nation and every people. It helps us connect with God through worship that honors His global family, grow together as we listen and learn from one another’s stories, and change the world by modeling a community where belonging is lived, not just spoken.
Whether this heritage is part of your story or new to you, there is space here for you.
Come experience what it means to be one body made richer by every culture God brings together.
Take your place at the table with us.

What if God could do more in your life than you have ever thought to ask for?
Immeasurably More is a six-session virtual Bible study for young adults ages 20 to 34, meeting once a month on Zoom. Rooted in Ephesians 3:20 to 21, this series invites you to explore the power of God that is already at work within you and to experience what it looks like to live from that place.
Each two-hour session brings together engaging teaching, small group conversation, creative faith-centered activities, and space for prayer and connection. Whether you are near or far, you are welcome here.
Over the course of six sessions you will grow in your understanding of who God is and what He can do, build real relationships with other young adults in an online community, gain clarity around your gifts, your calling, and your next steps, and be encouraged to step into the life God has for you.
This is not just a Bible study. It is a space to grow, connect, and discover that God is doing far more than you can see.
Come find out what immeasurably more looks like for you.

The Glow Up – You Heard the Word. Now Let’s Talk.
Sunday After Service
Let’s be honest—sometimes a sermon sparks something deep in your heart… and you’re left wanting to process it, question it, or just talk it out. That’s exactly what The Glow Up is all about.
This weekly post-service gathering creates space for real-time conversation with Pastor Tammy, Pastor Tony, or our guest speaker. It’s casual, thoughtful, and designed to help you dig deeper into the message you just heard.
Whether you’re new to faith or you’ve been walking with God for years, we believe there’s something powerful that happens when we take time to reflect together. The Glow Up gives you an opportunity to:
- Ask honest questions while the sermon is still fresh
- Share your insights or experiences in a welcoming space
- Hear how others are processing and applying the message
- Grow closer to God and deeper in community
This isn’t a class, and it’s not a lecture—it’s a dialogue. It’s about growing together in faith, life, and purpose. You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and more connected—not just to the church, but to the story God is writing in your life.
The Glow Up is part of how we live out our mission: Connecting with God. Growing Together. Changing the World.
We can’t wait for you to be part of it.

Circle of Friends – Wounded Women of the Bible
Finding Hope When Life Hurts
Life leaves its mark—through relationships, loss, mistakes, or seasons of feeling unseen. But God specializes in healing hearts and restoring hope.
Beginning September 8, Circle of Friends meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7 PM for a powerful Bible study: Wounded Women of the Bible. This study takes us through the real-life stories of women from Scripture—Bathsheba, Hagar, Martha, and others—who faced abuse, loneliness, betrayal, loss, and much more.
If you’ve ever thought women played little role in the Bible—or had little to teach today’s woman—you’re in for a surprise. Their struggles mirror our own, and their journeys reveal God’s unchanging love and power to restore.
Each participant will encounter this book differently, returning to it at various points in her faith and life journey. Whether you are seeking healing, longing for deeper connection, or simply want to grow in God’s Word, you’ll find encouragement and renewal here.
Circle of Friends is more than a study. It’s a safe, welcoming community where women connect with God, grow in faith, and lift each other up.
Come as you are. Leave renewed.
Meets: 2nd & 4th Mondays | 7 PM | Starting September 8

Discovery Shop is a ministry of South Bay Community Church dedicated to serving individuals and families in need through gently used clothing and basic household items. Rooted in our mission to change the world, this ministry offers a simple yet meaningful way to extend compassion, dignity, and care to our community.
By participating in Discovery Shop, our congregation helps meet real, everyday needs while living out our faith in action. This ministry reminds us that generosity is more than a gesture. It is a response to God’s call to love our neighbors in practical and tangible ways.
There is an ongoing need for winter items, including male and female socks, walking shoes, coats, sweaters, and similar essentials. Donations can be placed in the designated bins located in the church lobby.
Discovery Shop also serves as a resource for those looking to support others they know who are experiencing hardship.
