S erious about the local mission
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matt. 28:19-20).
We seek to teach the seeker. Every ministry in the church inspired to facilitate outreach
Total dependence on God
"God makes things grow. . ." (1 Cor. 3:7).
As we work hard on planting and watering, God is the One who causes the growth. He develops our spiritual life with Bible study, prayer, worship , fellowship and service.
R eal Love
"As I have loved you, so you must love one another7" (John 13:34).
The Simi Church is a community of encouragement and a haven for the hurting. We are genuinely friendly and have a family atmosphere. Our fellowship events build closeness and understanding.
A nchor New Members
"We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us." (1 Thessalonians 2:8 ).
One goal we have is to nurture those new in Jesus into fruitful maturity. We love to guide those who have been restored into a deeper, lasting relationship with God.

A new ministry still under construction, our Growth Groups are the key to caring for our members while reaching out to others. The church grows larger and smaller at the same time!
