Purpose
Our purpose is to know, worship and obey God according to the Scriptures.
Mission
As a local church we will...
- Be a real church, relevant for real life.
- Through our lives, encourage each other in our daily walk with Christ.
- Provide a safe place to develop life-long friends and family.
- Develop maturity in the lives of believers in order to evangelize the world.

We believe that God has chosen the local church to represent His life and His love to the community. Through strong, growing, healthy churches, people should have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, come to know Jesus Christ, become a part of the body of believers and be discipled. At Church for Life our first priority is to be a thriving local church for the people of the Santa Maria area.

Church for Life is a Bible-believing church. We believe God has revealed Himself through the Scriptures, and the Scriptures are to be taught using sound, orthodox doctrine. We emphasize every portion of Scripture, including God's work through the people of Israel; the birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ; the outpouring of the Holy Spirit; the mission of the body of believers; and, the ministering work of the Holy Spirit in the world today.
