Here at Santa Margarita Community Church, we believe that being a disciple begins at home and that bears fruit in all aspects of our believing lives. Our first efforts are to personally give every individual household the tools to make disciples in the home, regardless of who you live with. This begins with family worship where we read, pray and sing around the dinner table. Don’t worry, we will give you the tools and train you to use them.

We also provide opportunities for all our congregants to be involved in spiritual mentorship, biblical teaching, and mid-week fellowship groups.

The Table

The Table groups are our midweek fellowship gatherings. In them we practice together what we do throughout the week in our own homes: reading and discussing scripure or a helpful book, prayer, and singing.  We often use this time to learn and practice new hymns or psalms for congregational worship on Sunday.

Table Groups are meeting all around the from Santa Margarita to North Atascadero. Contact the office for times and locations.

Bible Study

Men’s and women’s bible studies meet weekly to dig deeply into the Word of God. We use a “manuscript” style study, which follows a pattern of Observation/Questioning/Interpretation/Application: We look closely at the text, ask questions about the text and, as we find answers, decide what the author was trying to communicate. Finally, we consider how the text informs our beliefs and shapes our lives. (Click here for a more in-depth description.) These studies look at the passage that will be preached on Sunday usually 1-3 weeks ahead of time.  Using a printed manuscript allows us to mark the text, helping us note repeated words, images and themes.
