We love to learn and do life together.

We have many opportunities for you to get involved in consistent small groups where we journey together in faith and discipleship. Find the right fit for you!

Sunday morning Bible classes and small groups meet at 9 a.m. Jump in at any point during these class sessions!


"Jesus the Preacher" led by John Wilson
​Appleby Center 286 and virtually
Aug. 28 – Dec. 18
We usually describe Jesus as a “teacher” not a “preacher.” But the Gospels preserve a number of sermons Jesus preached. This class will center on a few of these world-changing messages, such as the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7), the Sermon Against the Pharisees (Luke 11), the Discourse on the Church (Matt. 18), the Discourse on the End Times (Matt. 24-5), and the Teaching at the Last Supper (John 13-17).

"The Tree(s) Of Life We Live By" led by Falon Barton
The Rockwell Patio (on the second floor of the Rockwell Academic Center)
​Oct. 23 – Dec. 11
Join us to learn about and practice the nine sacred pathways that Gary Thomas describes as the primary ways that people all over the world connect with God. Just like our character traits or our love languages, each of us have unique worship personalities. We also need all of the pathways for a holistic experience of who God is. This class is a chance to better understand your own spiritual life, better appreciate how other people express their faith, and perhaps encounter God in a surprising new way.

"Koinonia" led by Hung Le
Outdoors in the courtyard between the Rockwell Academic Center and Elkins
Aug. 28 – Dec. 18
This is a conversational small group. Bring your coffee, spend time in Scripture, and enjoy life together.

Bible studies and small groups that meet throughout the week:

Monday Morning Meditation
Mondays through Nov. 21 from 7:15 – 7:45 a.m. at Stauffer Chapel
Led by Lead Minister Eric Wilson
Join Eric for 30 minutes of meditation to start off your week. We gather for brief instruction on Christian meditation followed by 20 minutes of practicing meditation together. Come for calm; come for centering; come for community with God and others.

Malibu Women's Bible Study
Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. – noon at Malibu Pacific Church and via Zoom
Led by Council Member Corleen Parmelee
MWBS is an in-depth, interdenominational Bible study involving women seeking together to better understand the heart of God and walk in the paths of Jesus. This year we are focusing on the books of 1 and 2 Samuel as we study the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David and explore what they meant for the kingdom of Israel, what they mean for the kingdom of God, and how they apply to our lives today. Come and join women from our church and our friends from the surrounding area (and even from other states!) as we study and fellowship together. Email Corleen at corleenparmelee@gmail.com or malibuwbs@gmail.com for more details.
