LATEST UPDATES
Welcome
We invite you, family, neighbors, and friends to Worship with us. If you haven’t accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we welcome you to join us and learn what it means. You are encouraged to ask questions. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will be the most important decision in your life. This is a decision no one can make for you, but we are here to encourage you, guide you and pray with & for you.
Come worship with us Sunday at 9:45 AM, Bible study at 11AM, Men’s or Women’s studies during the week.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD- ANOTHER SUCCESS!
LCPC supports Operation Christmas Child (OCC) and with the generosity of the congregation, our Children’s Center, teachers and preschool parents, we filled 58 shoeboxes. The Missions Fund paid for the shipping and 12 Gospel lessons for 58 children. Delivery of the boxes will be the 2nd week of November to the OCC drop-off center. We will track the delivery of the shoeboxes and report the country that receives our boxes. THANK YOU!
THANKSGIVING FOOD BASKET FOR MILITARY FAMILIES
LCPC supports the San Diego Military Outreach Ministries Chapter (SDMOM). Each year your donations will help put together boxes of Thanksgiving food for the junior enlisted military families (E5 and below). No amount of donation is too small, or too much! Giving is easy, you can go to the GIVE page and select Thanksgiving or write a check and write Thanksgiving Box in the memo line, or provide cash in an envelope and write Thanksgiving Box on the envelope.
ADVENT SEASON
Advent Season is the time Christians prepare for the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. As the world focus turns to bright lights, presents. Advent is the reminder that for us pause, and we encourage you to make your own Advent wreath. Light a candle each Sunday, read a scripture to reflect on Jesus’s arrival. Each candle symbolizes Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. The final candle is white and should be lit on Christmas Eve and represents that a Savior was born for us.
LCPC offers multiple ways to prepare for the season.

SCRIP BrandListNoGroup (3)
Once a month you have the opportunity to purchase a gift card from a large assortment of stores, restaurants, online shopping, gas stations, hotels and more. There are 750+ brands to choose from. When you place your order on a Sunday, you receive the full value of the gift card, but the church receives a percentage (depending on the store) of the amount purchased. The cards are delivered approx. one week after the Scrip order is submitted. The amount LCPC has received has been used to purchase paint for the bathrooms, play equipment for the kids, and more. REMEMBER – there is ZERO extra out of pocket money from you. The stores, as part of their community commitment identify the percentage they give.
