"The church is marked by its unity, shared life, commonality, and community—in a word: fellowship. Fellowship is critical to the life of the church. Christianity is not a spectator event that happens on Sunday. It is a common, shared life with other believers."
— John MacArthur
During the month of July, our regular Sunday morning Fellowship Groups go on hiatus. Designed to be a time of refreshment and fellowship with our Grace Church family as a whole, these Sundays give our congregation the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of teaching from our pastors and elders, professors at The Master’s University, and guest lecturers for the Doctor of Ministry Program at The Master’s Seminary. Our prayer is that you will be refreshed and renewed by these times of equipping.
Since graduating from The Master’s Seminary in 1996, Brian has served in a number of ways at Grace Church, including in two missionary assignments in Africa. He pastored a church in Johannesburg, South Africa, for eight years and spent more than nine years in Malawi helping to plant a church and assist in the launch of the Central African Preaching Academy. In 2016, Brian and his wife, Anita, returned to Southern California with their four children (Ami, Bradley, Benjamin, and Allison) where he accepted a position at The Master’s Seminary as a full-time professor in the department of pastoral ministries. Brian also serves as the pastor of the Steadfast fellowship group.
