Coming up at Platform…

Sign Up For Rooted
Rooted is a 10-week discipleship experience where you’ll learn spiritual rhythms and get to practice them in the context of intimate and intentional community.
We all have rhythms in our lives. The way we wake up, get ready, go about the day. Here’s the big question: how many of your every day rhythms take you into the presence of God? If we know that real healing, restoration and hope happens in God’s presence…shouldn’t we have every day rhythms that prioritize that? This is what Rooted is all about! You learn how to read your bible, pray, deal with sin, give like God, serve, share your story, and worship. On top of that, you’ll get the chance to learn AND experience each of these rhythms with a group of people who might just become your new best friends! ;)
Women's Gathering
Gather with other women to study God’s Word, deepen your relationship with Jesus, and grow together as we journey through Colossians and 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

Good Friday Worship Experience
In partnership with our sending church — New Hope Community Church — join us for a night of reflection and gratitude.
New Hope is located in Eastlake, Chula Vista.
Seder Meal
What’s a Seder? The Seder is an experiential celebration of the Passover. It’s the meal Jesus shared with his disciples in the Upper Room the night before he would die on the cross. It’s that VERY tradition that Jesus commanded His disciples to continue. This is an echo of the Father’s command in Exodus 12. God tells His people to make the Seder a “lasting ordinance.” Come taste, see, and experience the GOSPEL in a meaningful and special way that will cause the Good News of Jesus to come alive like you may have not experienced before.
The Seder meal is free to come to (there will be a way to give if you feel compelled) and we just ask that you RSVP so we can be prepared. This is a catered event and the perfect thing to invite friends and family to. The food is great, the message behind the meal is the best ever!

Baptism Mar. 22nd
