One church. Many places.
On Sunday, November 15, Anthem Church won't meet in our usual building. We're scattering across Ventura County to gather in homes, parks, beaches, coffee shops, and backyards. At each site, we'll worship Jesus, read and talk through the Scriptures, take communion, and pray together.
"Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word." – Acts 8:4
Why we're doing this
The church isn't a building. It's people who follow Jesus, gathered together. Anthem Anywhere reminds us of that in a simple, hands-on way. It's also a chance to meet new people, connect with your neighbors, and see people use their gifts, whether that's teaching, hospitality, leading worship, praying, or running the barbecue.
What to expect
Every site is a little different, but each one will include: a warm welcome (and often food!), worship and prayer, scripture reading and a teaching or discussion time, and communion together.
