Giving Tuesday
GIVING TUESDAY, is a day set aside for generosity towards causes that are doing good in this world. Black Friday is all about shopping for “me.” Giving Tuesday is all about giving out to bless others. Of the places you intend to give to, we ask that you consider making a special gift to RENEW.
For all the gifts that come in on GIVING TUESDAY, we will give 25% to our outside partners (Testimony Ministries, Olive Crest, Claris). The rest will go towards making Renew our permanent home so that we can continue to make disciples and be a beacon of light in Santa Monica and beyond.

Victory Weekend is a time to deepen our relationship with God and focus on establishing the spiritual foundation necessary for a lifelong walk with Him. It includes times of worship, Bible teaching, prayer, and personal ministry to ensure that we understand and walk in the freedom Christ won for us on the cross.

If you have already pledged, THANK YOU! Sunday, October 6 will be OUR HOME Sunday where you can give and be a part of the miracle story of Renew’s homecoming. Find out more by clicking the button below.
Making Disciples Class
Although most Christians are familiar with Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20), many find it difficult describing what discipleship is, and have an even more difficult time outlining a practical, Biblical approach to making disciples. Renew exists to make disciples who are renewed by the Gospel and become Gospel renewal to the city, and that's where the Making Disciples Class comes in. In this class we'll be teaching on and discussing the following questions:
1. What is discipleship?
2. Why do we make disciples?
3. How do we make disciples?
4. What is a Discipleship Group at Renew?
5. How do I lead a Discipleship Group?
6. How do I preach the Gospel?
Every disciple, or follower of Jesus, is called to make disciples. Together, let's find out how! To sign up, click below.
** Registration fee is $15.
PREREQUISITES:
Complete the first three chapters of the One2One app (meaning someone has taken you through the app one on one).
