Welcome! Thank you for visiting our website. I hope that as you navigate through these pages you are able to get a sense of who we are and what we believe. But more than that, I hope you will also see something of who our God is and how He sees us. “Two things I have heard,” writes David, “that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O God, are loving.” (Psalm 62:11-12). God is the Almighty – nothing is impossible for Him. He is the God of heaven and earth, who has made us and through the work of His Son Jesus Christ we are saved!
And He looks at us with love. We are the apple of His eye. We are His beloved. Centuries ago a pastor said, “The soul is a precious thing.” Here at Church in the Canyon we believe that. The Almighty loves us, therefore we are unbelievably valuable. We invite you to come and join us in learning about the greatness of the God who loves people – and may our souls rejoice before Him together!
In Christian Love,
Bob Bjerkaas,
Pastor
On June 2 the men of CITC will meet for a One Day Retreat at the beautiful Sunset Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, home of Dave and Sandy Sampson, from 8:00 to 4:00. Ted Neale, a Pastor in our denomination and long time friend of CITC, will be our guest speaker and facilitate our discussion and Bible study. "If your life seems to be gathering more moss than bearing fruit....If you sense the need to rekindle a heart of passion for God and His Word....Lets journey together and take some very simple, practical steps in that direction." "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24:32 Cost is $20. Scholarships are available and it includes both breakfast and lunch! Brochures are available at Church, sign ups have begun, and all men are invited to take time out to get away with other brothers in the Lord and the meat of the Word! Contact Dave Sampson, Dennis Brooks or office@churchinthecanyon.org for more information.
"When we look around at the pain, loss and hurt in our world and even in our own lives, we can't help but wonder, "God, don't you see this? Can't you do something about this? Where are you?" We invite you to join us June 23rd at the Sunset Ranch of Sandy and Dave Sampson for a One Day LIFT Retreat to study this very question together! The author of the Bible Study and DVD study we will be using, Margaret Feinberg "uses fresh insights and Biblical teaching to study four verbs that Scripture uses in connection with God. When we understand God's active nature, we realize how God is always active and engaged in our lives. Even when we can't see or feel him, God is constantly on the move and working."
Brochures are available, registrations are being accepted and seating is limited so sign up soon! The cost is $20, Scholarships are available, healthy snacks and lunch are included and it is a guaranteed wonderful fellowship time, an enriching time in Bible study at a beautiful/quiet setting in the Santa Monica mountains! Those women who joined us for our last Retreat at the Sunset Ranch will tell you we had a GREAT time and learned so much!
