Our Mission

It was on June 16 in 2009 when Jesus appeared to Don in a vision as he was driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. Jesus had what appeared to be a wire or chain around His neck that caught Don’s attention. Immediately, Don knew that Jesus was creating something and as the diverse shaped and various colored stones gradually appeared, it became apparent that it was a beautiful necklace.

Jesus then spoke to Don and said;

"I want you to gather and bring together the distinct and diverse people of Laguna Beach and build a community that will reveal Me to the people within the city."

It was then, the mission began. They started their first group in Laguna Beach mid-January of 2010. Relying on their faith and trust in God, they knew He would enable them to fulfill His calling.

We are on a journey to be like Jesus and to continue what He began. We exist to be His followers in and to our world. Jesus came to "make God visible" as he "lived a life of love." He showed people what God was like and invited them to know God as he did. As they said yes, they became His disciples and part of His mission and community.

We love our city, Laguna Beach. We love its distinctiveness and heritage as both an artist's colony and an eclectic marketplace community, as well as being a place of refuge, refreshment and beauty.

Our Gatherings and Groups: Net-Works is a community church defined by our shared experiences and heart to live this life of love every day and everywhere. Our Gatherings and Groups function to serve in three primary ways:

• To Celebrate and Encourage our Identity and Mission as God's People.

• To bring Care and Equipping to us as a community.

• To Help Others pursue their Passions and heal their Pain.

We welcome your prayers and participation in our community. Your support is invaluable to us—thank you for being part of our journey!
