LIFE GROUP MINISTRIES
Our mission is to create a network of home based small groups that are committed to perfecting, edifying, connecting and building up the body of Christ. To provide an environment and atmosphere of love that is conducive to discipleship, intimacy and fellowship and that will attract non-believers to Christ Jesus.To allow believers to feel connected to each other like a true family, and to deliberately identify ourselves with each other and God's interest in our own lives. If you would like information on any of our LIFE groups, please contact a leader directly, call the church office or e-mail us at smfscaregroup@hotmail.com. Pastor Dennis Jordan is coordinator of LIFE Groups.

Vision of the Santa Maria Foursquare Worship Arts Team ...to bring glory to God through honoring and exalting Jesus in our personal lives as well as a corporate body. We Do This By…
1) Holy Living
“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21 ESV)
2) Working Together
“A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” (Psalm 133:1 ESV)
3) Being Real In Our Worship
“But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.” (John 4:23 MSG)
4) Honoring God with Our Gifts
“His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'” (Matthew 25:21 ESV)
5) Having Fun
“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." (Psalm 126:2 )
