Welcome to our new website

We are excited to announce the launch of Sovereign Grace’s new digital presence! Our main website is focused on reaching the Pasadena community and the central hub will help to facilitate the life of the church. We are hopeful that this initiative positions us well to reach the surrounding area, and serve our members and visitors effectively. Here's an introduction.

Outreach Website: sgcpasadena.org

Our new website has been built from the ground up with a singular goal: outreach. It's streamlined and tailored to people who are searching - either for a church home or for answers to life's biggest questions. The website provides an introduction to Sovereign Grace Church Pasadena and encourages new folks, no matter their background or story, to visit on a Sunday morning and hear the life changing message of the gospel.

So what can you find on the new website?

  • Our beliefs, values, mission, and partnerships

  • What a new visitor can expect on Sunday morning + directions

  • A place where people can get to know the leadership team

  • The ministries we offer and ways to plug in and serve

  • Featured sermons that give an introduction to the preaching

In addition, this site gives you a tool to reach your friends, family, and co-workers. Because it was built with new folks in mind, you can share the site via social media, text message, email, etc. and those folks can easily get to know our church family.

We're excited about it and we hope it's a great resource for you!

New Church Hub: hub.sgcpasadena.org

The new Central Hub was built with members and new visitors in view. We realize that in the past it could be difficult at times to find the information you need. The Hub is intended to be your single resource for any information pertaining to the day to day life of the church. That includes things like:

  • What time does fill in the blank event start (Calendar)

  • I'm new. What steps should I take to get connected? (I'm New)

  • How do I sign-up for a ministry team or for an event? (Resources)

  • Where can I listen to a past sermon? (Sermons)

  • How do I find a Community Group? (Ministries)

Consider bookmarking the Hub for easy access as we'll be referencing this site often. We believe this new platform will help to facilitate all that is happening here at the church and can grow with us over time.

We hope these new websites achieve two goals: reach more people in our area for Christ and serve you, our members, so that technology aids church life and doesn't get in the way.

We're grateful for you, Sovereign Grace Pasadena!!

We prayed. God answered!

We are rejoicing with the Owens on the purchase of their new house here in California! Thank you so much to everyone who had been praying for a miracle - that they could purchase a house. God has graciously provided a wonderful home for them in Azusa on the border of Duarte.

For the next couple weeks, Tim will be finishing up his studies, taking his exams at the Pastor’s College and packing up his home in preparation for the move across the country. He has been selected to preach at the Louisville Sovereign Grace Church the Sunday after graduation. Please keep Tim, Becca and the kids in your prayers as they enter into this very busy time finishing up the Pastor’s College, packing up their home and beginning the 2000 mile journey.  It’s looking like they’ll be arriving June 18th, but we’ll update you as the time gets closer. We’ll be calling for “all hands on deck” to help unpack their trucks and get them settled in to their new home. We will keep you posted.

Backyard Worship Nights

Mark your calendars! We’ve got big plans for the summer and we hope you can join us.  We will be having monthly Backyard Worship Nights at the Boomsma’s home on the 2nd Saturday nights of each month: June, July and August.

Our new church home!

We are thanking God for our new church home at 85 E. Holly Street, in Old Town, just 2 blocks from City Hall.  God providentially provided this place for us before we even knew that we needed it. How kind of the Lord to go before us and give us a space to meet!  We are so grateful to be in downtown Pasadena.

We know that the past couple years of Covid has forced us to be flexible and willing to pivot as needed and the trend continues with moving into to our new church home. This space is a wonderful gift to us: where we can have a suitably sized, climate controlled meeting room -  a beautiful outdoor space patio for church dinners - a huge, restaurant quality kitchen - and a couple great lobby spaces for fellowshipping before and after the service - not to mention the coffee bar right in the lobby!

While we had, by necessity, to change our meeting time to 3:00 pm, we know that God is sovereign and will use this change for our good - and His glory. We understand that this change in routine poses a few challenges for many of us, but we are confident that we, as a body, can embrace all that God has for us in this new season and in this new space. To be right in the middle of Old Town Pasadena is such a wonderful opportunity to be reminded of our mission as believers and disciples of Jesus. We pray that God will revive us individually and collectively and give us a heart for the people of Pasadena as we settle into our new home.
