As we step into a new year at The Oceanside Sanctuary and a renewed vision and mission, you are invited to lean into community and help us cultivate a Christian spirituality “reclaiming its calling to be known for love, liberation, and the celebration of God’s image in all people.”
These teams are groups of 5-10 people who work together to advance our mission "to grow together in the love, peace, and justice of Christ for the sake of our relationships, our cities, and our world.” They each address specific social justice areas. If you are interested, just complete the quick form below and we will follow up to answer any questions you have and connect you with these team starting in January.

We encourage individuals and families of all kinds to come together and embrace the spirit of the Advent season!
Whenever the Santa Ana's begin to blow, I find myself thinking about the winds of change and the movement of life. I can't believe we are already at the beginning of November and moving into our holiday season with Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas upon us. We hope you are enjoying our new series on Rejecting Burnout Culture and finding space to rest in this upcoming busy season. As we move into Thanksgiving and Advent, we look forward to…
After roughly a month of Border Protection dropping off legal asylum seekers at the Oceanside Transit Center and a Herculean effort by non-profits, everyday Oceanside residents, and churches to provide basic care, there is a new solution. As of today, because the County Supervisors approved $3 million dollars for relief, they will be consolidating all asylum seekers to one location in downtown San Diego, where more shelters and services are nearby.
As the holiday season approaches, we're thrilled to announce a special event designed to bring joy and comfort to our cherished seniors in the community. 💖
