The food distribution is a joint effort of the Golden Hills Community Church Serving & Engaging Neighbors Together, (SENT) ministry and Team Jesus Outreach Ministries. 

Free hot meals are also served at the Community Outreach Center at 525 E. 18th Street in Antioch Monday through Friday. Doors open at 5:00 pm. Our desire is that no one in our community suffer from hunger or malnutrition. Each night we serve a wholesome, home-cooked hot meal to satisfy our appetite. However, we also realize there is a spiritual hunger that God wants to fulfill in each one of us and we have a brief worship service designed to help us connect with the Lord each evening. Everyone is welcome to join regardless of their faith background. For more information visit Community Outreach Center.

Golden Hills Community Church is located at 2401 Shady Willow Lane in Brentwood. For more information about the church and its ministries visit www.goldenhills.org.

Please support us in our annual fundraiser, LifeRide. We will be riding bikes across the nation to raise awareness and funds to unite and mobilize the Church to end abortion and the orphan crisis.

What is LifeRide?

In 2023, Pastor Jay Stewart at the age of 60, rode his bicycle over 3,100 miles across America to bring awareness to the ministry of Love Life and to raise over a million dollars. Pastor Jay has been a partnering pastor with Love Life from the beginning and his church is also a House of Refuge church. (See video1 and video2)

Locally, our goal is to raise $10,000. If you would like to give $25, $50 or $100 to help us meet our goal and learn more, please visit: https://join.liferideusa.org/team/580862.

Resurrection Sunrise Service 6:30 – 7:15 am next to the Plaza

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus… “Why do your search for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen”

Join us for this special sunrise service as we celebrate the resurrection of our King. We will have a time of singing and scripture reading before our main Resurrection Sunday Services.

This service will be outside so please bring a chair.We are meeting in the Guest Parking Lot next to the Plaza.

7:00 – 8:00 pm  |  Sanctuary

Good Friday is the day we remember our Lord’s death. It is so easy to take the significance of the cross for granted because we hear about it often. We see the image of the cross everywhere. This service is a chance for us to slow down and truly reflect on what Jesus’ sacrifice means. This will be a somber time of reflection and thankfulness as we consider what Jesus did for us.

Join us at Golden Hills Community Church, as we worship through singing, the reading of scripture and prayer.

We do not recommend that young children attend this service, as it will be dark and quiet. We are offering childcare for your children for this service. Please use this link to register your child. Registration is required at least 3 days before this event (March 25) for staffing purposes.

The church is located at2401 Shady Willow Lane in Brentwood. For more information about Holy Week visit www.goldenhills.org.
