"No matter your age or stage in life, following Jesus is a lifelong, every day journey.  Montecito Covenant Church seeks to build more disciples who follow Jesus in their own homes/dorm rooms/neighborhood/workplace and who are also seeking to build a more caring and just world.  We are committed to Jesus Christ, to one another and to doing justice and mercy in our community.  We begin with weekly worship - multi-generational, using music and liturgy both contemporary and traditional, hearing and seeking to obey the Word of God as it is prayed, read and preached.  Age-specific or inter-generational small groups offer opportunities for both fellowship and service during the week.  Within easy walking distance of Westmont, MCC offers college students the opportunity to be a part of a local family of God, a kingdom outpost for worship, fellowship and service.  Two quick examples of service opportunities = Bread of Life Ministries, a Westmont based outreach to Santa Barbara's homeless population, which uses our kitchen as a launching point every week, and multiple opportunities to invest in the life of kids by serving as  teachers for children and students in our fellowship.  College students are a gifted and important part of our community life - you are so welcome here!"
