Ladies Group – Our Ladies Group will be gathering again on August 15th, 9am at the Martinez home, 903 Donnan Pl, Vista. We’ll be continuing through Spiritual Mothering by Susan Hunt (Chapter 3 + Jane’s Story). Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be served. Please RSVP here if you plan on joining.
Members’ Meeting – Following the service on August 15, we will be holding a brief Members’ Meeting that will last approximately 30 minutes. We’ll discuss what’s happening in the life of the church, share updates on current ministries, and look ahead at the vision and direction for the coming season. If you are a current member of Pillar Church or are in the process of pursuing membership, we invite you to join us.
Summer Around the Table – Even though Life Groups are on pause and we’re slowing the pace of life down at the church over the summer, we still want to be intentional in doing life together–that never really stops. Summer Around the Table is a simple reminder to have people over this coming month and just enjoy the community God has built.
ManDown – ManDown 2026 is upon us. Within the Praetorian Project, ManDown men’s retreats have been held annually for over 10 years on the East Coast. This October we celebrate the 4th year here of ManDown in Southern California! Once again, our 1.5-day event will help men grow in their faith, deepen their love for Christ, and do all kinds of cool man stuff. The event will join men from all three SoCal Pillar churches as we gather October 9-10 in Idyllwild, CA.
Registration is open and partial payments are an option. Register here. $115 for the weekend w/ a deposit of $25 to register. We hope you’ll make plans to join us!
Four:Six Prayer – Each Saturday at 4:06 PM, we set aside time to pray together before service. Rooted in Philippians 4:6, this gathering is about more than just a pre-service ritual—it’s a moment to pause, refocus, and re-center our hearts on the presence and peace of God. As we bring our gratitude and our needs before Him, we prepare ourselves to worship in unity and expectation. This intentional rhythm reminds us that prayer isn’t the backup plan—it’s the starting place. Everyone is invited to join.
Fight Clubs are same-gender groups of about three people encouraging each other to live a life aligned with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The ultimate goal is to love Jesus more, through our affection for and our allegiance to him, by helping each other rehearse the gospel and fight sin. Fight Clubs strive to meet at least twice a month for an intentional, focused time devoted to the word and genuine fellowship. For more information or to sign up contact:
