We are a church that follows Jesus in loving God, loving people and serving the community and the world.

Are you looking for a place for you and your family to feel at home, make lasting friendships and experience a genuine sense of community?  It is said of El Montecito Church, that we are big enough to meet your needs and small enough to know them!

Are you looking to extend your world beyond yourself?  Are you eager to use your talents and abilities to make a difference in this world, or in the life of another person?  The people of El Montecito are truly involved! From serving in volunteer capacities in the life and ministry of the church, to preparing meals at the Rescue Mission, to building and supporting two churches in Baja California, to short-term mission trips across the country and around the globe.  There is a place to serve that needs just your talents and abilities!

We hope you'll soon be our guest at a Worship Service.  Visit our 'Welcome Booth' and begin to experience the El Montecito difference.  And, please make a point of introducing yourself to me.  I'd love to welcome you personally.

Pastor Harold Bussell

The A/V Team is already stretched too thin and could really use some help.  But additional team members will be critically needed as the scope of responsibility expands.

Have you found your place to serve at ElMo yet?  Give it some prayer, and please give us a call.
