The Heart Behind Home Groups

Home groups are a great way to connect with others in your church family for worship, prayer, fellowship and Bible study alongside the sermon series.
Our Home Groups meet weekly in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Santa Ynez and soon Buellton. 

Meet the Team!

Mark & Tiffany Philabosian 

Location: Santa Barbara (by SB Bowl) Wed 7PM.
Our group is dedicated to learning more about God by reading a weekly passage (e.g., the verses in Pastor Rino's upcoming sermon) and collectively discussing it as a group. We are open to any believers of Christ in any walk of life. We are an extension of SOUTHCOAST and its mission, value and core beliefs. 

John Paul & Leah Sodusta

Location: La Cumbre Road (Mountain Side of State St.) Sundays 1-3 PM.
Our group is a community of young families discipling one another to obey Jesus Christ by changing our lives to be consistent with the Bible so that we are equipped to fulfill the Great Commission. (Children welcome)

Wayne & Ester Smith

Location: Santa Ynez
Our group at its core is all about prayer. We discuss Sunday's message and help each other lean into Holy Spirit to work through His power in each persons life!

Graham & Julie Paterson

Location: Santa Barbara- San Roque. Wed 6:30PM
We range from 3 to 70+  Our primary role is to support each other. We have not followed a fixed agenda. Studied topiics, read a book together, discussed Sundays sermon. We learned early on that hard core study was not the primary reason our group wanted to meet. Support of each other and sharing our faith together is most important.

This women's home group will be based on using the Precept Bible study methodology, with additional time built in for prayer and mutual sharing and caring. In addition to Home Group sharing, this is an intensive Bible study group. The format will be interactive and discussion-oriented, and will not feature videos or lecture-style teaching. Members should have a high level of commitment to attend regularly, complete homework, and listen to and share their insights and questions with each other.
