God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The good news of Jesus remains unchanged by any circumstance. How we worship, learn and fellowship will look different in this season than it has ever looked before, but we are determined to keep our eyes on Jesus. As we invite the Spirit to grow us like flowers in the desert, we are eager to see the ways God will transform our lives and communities. It will be stretching and even uncomfortable at times, but we’re hoping you’ll join us—and invite a friend!—as we pursue relationship with God and one another this year.
Whether you pop in for a One Time Book Club or join a year-long Bible Study, our groups and events are open for newcomers and ‘veterans’ alike. If you have questions or would like help deciding what group is right for you, we are happy to help.

Women's Ministry Night of Worship
Wednesday, March 31 | 7:00 pm | Commons or fullertonfree.tv
Gather for worship and prayer at The Commons with women of different ages and seasons. We come from different places, but we focus our love and attention on the same wonderful God.
No registration necessary.
Women’s Ministry groups will be studying the book of Genesis together during 2020-2021. We will discover how God created the world and delve into stories about the ways God walks with men and women just like us. We will be united in purpose to be transformed by the study of God’s Word. Our studies will begin the year meeting virtually.*
Choose how you study by curriculum, time of day or day of the week. If you would like to join us in the study of Genesis, but would rather not join one of our groups, please feel free to follow along with the teaching (see Pursuit Audio Archive on our website) and purchase a book.
*Because our studies and groups are beginning virtually this semester, childcare will not be available.

MOPS & MOMSnext
Begins January 28
This year, we want to tell you two things that will change your life if you believe them. First, you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Second, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you have work to do; meaningful work that was built into your DNA before you were born. Work that you were made for. Sometimes, we believe that our motherhood is a constraint that limits what we can do in this life. We want to remind you that motherhood isn’t a constraint – it’s a catalyst.
This is the year we arise as mothers to awaken a weary and sleeping world. The year to accept and believe that God will fulfill his promises to you, and to embrace your motherhood as a catalyst to his plans and promises for you.
MOPS & MOMSnext are available to a wide range of moms. If you're a pregnant mom still waiting to meet your little one or if you're a mom to kindergarteners or those in elementary school, you're welcome here!
This fall, we are unable to offer childcare. In order to give more moms a chance to attend, our meetings will be held on Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:00 pm.
Here are the dates for MOPS/MOMSnext:
Spring 2021 Dates
1/28
2/11 & 2/25

Abortion Recovery Class
You might think you will never get over your abortion. You may even think you should feel the regret, shame, and loneliness of this decision made recently or long ago.
That is just not true.
You deserve to find healing and forgiveness in a nonjudgmental and caring environment. We understand and want to help you become the woman or man you were meant to be, free and thriving.
Class fee is covered by Fullerton Free.
This 10-week class helps women and men (in separate classes) emotionally and spiritually process their struggles following an abortion. With a small class size and compassionate support, you will find the courage to face the pain of a previous abortion or abortions, no matter how many years it’s been.

Healing Broken Hearts
Whether in early life stages or at present, life is accompanied with heartbreaking experiences. When it comes to healing, women connecting with other women is what facilitates recovery. Our group, Healing Broken Hearts, is a safe environment that fosters vulnerable conversations in a confidential setting.
There are two tracks to choose from:
- Betrayal Trauma – For women who are in relationship with a partner who struggles with unhealthy sexual behaviors (addiction to pornography, extra marital affairs, etc).
- 12-Step – For women on a journey to healing, no matter what painful experiences life has given you.
Find love, acceptance and support in our weekly meetings. Discover there is HOPE for your future as God directs your next steps. We look forward to meeting, supporting and praying with you.
Contact the church: 714-529-5544 ext. 484 and a facilitator will return your call.
