FIRST FRUITS 

Every first Sunday of the month at SOUTHCOAST, we do things a bit differently.  On this day, we bring our tithes and offerings to the Lord and are served communion as a body.  Then, at the conclusion of the service, we extend the opportunity to participate in a special offering where 100% goes toward various community or ministry outreaches, separate from our regular tithes and offerings.

Royal Family Kid's faith-based mission is to positively impact the lives of children in Santa Barbara County, ages 7-12, who have been victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment by providing life-changing experiences and creating positive memories. They accomplish this through a week long residential camp and their year-long club and mentoring program.

This year, we are teaming up with Royal Family to come together to build a playground for Pastor Woody Robinson's church in the inner city of Los Angeles!

Originating in 2001 at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Jesus Burgers is a missional movement that has organically spread to other cities and college campuses throughout the United States and into other countries.
 As a ministry of Mission Isla Vista, our vision is to bring the love of God to the college students of today. To date, tens of thousands of hamburgers have been given away, numerous lives has been changed, and God has been ever faithful to reach this generation through a simple hamburger.

The Isaiah Project is a SOUTHCOAST church home-grown ministry. Since 2018, we've been assisting teens in our community living with challenging home situations which may include poverty, housing insecurity, neglect, abuse, addiction, incarcerated parents and emotional or physical disabilities.
We are able to provide healthy snacks, personal hygiene items, and with the creation of the Isaiah Project Closet, we are now helping to provide basic clothing items. As teachers and specialists refer students to us, we are honored to bless, encourage, and show God's loves to the students and their families!

CALM is the County-wide agency that helps families prevent child trauma and abuse and find healing when they have occurred. It began in 1970, soon after an infant died at Cottage Hospital because his overwhelmed, teenage dad shook him to stop him from crying. Since then, it has become well established in the South County and, more recently, in Santa Maria and Lompoc. In our area, CALM connects with clients in the Santa Barbara offices and at many preschools, elementary schools, Family Resource Centers and pediatricians’ clinics.

Benevolence (noun) - the quality of being well meaning; kindness.
Benevolence is a fund that we pull from all year long to help SC Members in their time of need.

Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship takes its name from 2 Corinthians 5:20 "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."
One of our greatest joys is to see former students continue to pursue Jesus passionately.

Since 2006, Pathway Family Services has answered the call to care for the needs of these foster children by training, certifying, and supporting resource families in their brave efforts to re-write the stories of abused and neglected children.
Pathway Family Services has transformed the lives of a great number of abused, neglected, and at-risk children and their families by providing safe homes, counseling, resources, and education for both foster children and resource families.

Black Sheep's mission is to introduce Jesus Christ to the world of motorcycle riders, for the purpose of making more and better disciples through the ministry of the local church.With so many similar clubs and ministries doing such a good job, it was their specific burden to focus their ministry on 2 million H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) members. They are a breed unto themselves, who often keep to themselves, allowing only other H.O.G. members to speak into their lives.
Such a focus should not be viewed as exclusive (for all are welcome to Christ’s love) but rather strategic! Though they often find themselves ministering to other riders, it is HOG members to whom they give about 50% of their time and resources.Black Sheep is not only HOG focused but family oriented. They are pleased to ride as single adults, married couples and often with our children. Whole families attend their events and rides.
