Membership Class– Our next Group Life membership class will be offered on Saturday, September 13th, right after service. This is the first step in becoming a member at Pillar and covers the basics of who we are as a church. If you’re interested, please talk with Pastor Trace, or RSVP here. Dinner will be provided.

Completing the class does not automatically make you a member of Pillar Church, but the class is a prerequisite for those who wish to go through the membership process. Our goal is that by the conclusion of the course, you will have a clear understanding of the beliefs, direction, and structure of our church family, as well as knowledge of the benefits and expectations of membership with Pillar Church.

Life Groups -Life Groups have been an important part of the church since it’s beginning. These regular, mid-week gatherings have served as a place to build deeper relationships, develop leaders, and grow in our understanding of God’s Word. This fall semester, we’re trying something new. We will begin on September 10th and continue every other week with a meal and bible study. We may branch off into more groups if needed, but we’re excited to jump back into this rhythm. This group will be held at the Furtado’s home in Oceanside, you can find more information here.

Join Us for Corporate Fasting – On the second week of this month, we will set aside time as a church family for prayer and fasting. Here’s the plan:

  • Pick one day during the week of September 7-13 to fast for 24 hours.
  • Use the fasting guide and prayer list we’ve provided to help you focus your time with the Lord.
  • Pray through the specific topics together with the rest of the church, even as you fast individually.

Fasting is a way for us to seek God’s presence, depend on Him more deeply, and unite our hearts in prayer. We’d love for you to be part of this month’s effort—choose your day, lean into the guide, and let’s pursue God together.

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:
