I love our church! Our Mariners community raised $800,000 to GIVE AWAY in our communities! A percentage of that goes to amazing ministries, projects, and opportunities right here in Huntington Beach. But we’re not only supporting activities with money, we’re taking action! Stay tuned for more opportunities to serve and play a role in loving our community and changing our city. (Or, bring additional ideas to us!)
By the way, it’s MAY. And it’s going to be another exciting month at Mariners HB.
Rumor: people that come to the 9am services are more productive and live longer.

It’s not too late to practice radical generosity in our community! Help us reach our goal of 15,000 service hours and 50 tons of hygiene items for local food banks. For more information about filling a bag and all our serve opportunities click here.
My parents are both celebrating their 60th birthdays next week. That’s a big one. A milestone. Similarly, a number of students are soon to graduate from one grade and enter into a new stage of education or life.
There are markers that mark significant shifts in our lives. Whether birthdays, graduations, job changes, moves, or any number of other transitions…notice what season you’re in. Celebrate what can be celebrated. Appreciate what can be appreciated. Affirm what you can affirm.
…and then prepare for the next season.
Our church is entering a new season. And as we do, we celebrate the fact that this last season has been amazing! In the past 10 months we’ve baptized 30+ people, seen almost 200 participate in Rooted, and our church has nearly tripled in size. God is up to something in HB!
Now, God’s made it clear to me and the Mariners leadership, that’s time for another big shift. We are actively looking for a new location to meet on Sundays. We have loved our time at the HB Central Library, but we’re already outgrowing it. I believe God has a new location in mind for our church. It will be our “next” but probably not our “last” location.
It will be a space we can call our own… a place we can invite our friends… a space for the whole family… a location that makes sense for what God is doing through our community.
I don’t know exactly where it is, or exactly when we’ll move into it… but change is coming. I’m telling you now, because it’s graduation season, and this is a graduation, or sorts, for our church.
And I’m telling you because I’m asking you to begin praying and preparing. Our best days are ahead of us.
Over the next weeks and months I’ll be bringing you more information. I’ll also be inviting you to celebrate what God has already done in our church, and then to anticipate what will soon be coming.
May God bless you and your family as you look to celebrate markers in your own life. See you Sunday!

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood… and a beautiful day to be a neighbor to someone.
I saw this old Mr. Rogers quote today in response to all the pain on television:
“Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.” — Fred Rogers, on what to do when scary things are on the news #boston
The series we’re doing, Christian?, has a lot of people talking…and inviting. I, personally, am loving it. It’s a defining series for our church. We are a church that is committed to surprising people in our city with our love–not our politics, not our doctrine, not our stance on hot topics…our love.
This will be another compelling and challenging week that will make you rethink at how you look at the world around you–and make you wonder how the world looks at you.
See you Sunday,

Christian. It’s one of the most recognizable brands in the world, but is it an accurate reflection of who Jesus was and how He radically impacted the boundaries of culture? Join us over the next six weeks as we peel away the labels and misconceptions of Christianity to reveal… love. Jesus didn’t call His followers Christians. He called them disciples.
The Dream Event is a great place to begin to wrestle with the questions “What does God want to do with my story?” “How has God shaped me to change the world?” You’ll hear from Pastor Kenton Beshore and special guest, “story-guru” Dr. Dan Allender, and learn how you too can use your story to fearlessly change the world. Register online. Contact Chris with questions.

Dang, I’m excited for Sunday! We’re about to do something you’ll remember for a long time…something powerful…something bold…something newsworthy… And, most importantly, something that represents who followers of Jesus truly are.
Whether you’ve been part of our church community for two years or two weeks, you’re along for quite a ride!
We are committed to helping you becoming all that God made you to be. We’re committed to reaching more and more people with a message of hope and love. And we’re committed to changing the community around us.
You’ll get a glimpse of all three of these commitments in a big, bold way this Sunday. I can’t wait to be together! Don’t miss this!!

PS. One other thing: Remember how Kasey Harrison inspired us on Sunday to invite and pay for our friends to go through Rooted? Who can you get to Rooted this session? Let Christen know and she’ll help you sign them up!
