Christmas Celebration | Dec 13
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Join us for our free Up on the Rooftop Christmas Festival on Friday, December 13 from 5:00-8:30 PM. Parking, food trucks, and family activities begin at 5:00 PM and our Christmas concert begins at 7:00 PM.
We still need help
If you’re able to lend a hand before, during, or after the event, please follow the link and fill out the volunteer form. You will be able to serve and enjoy most of the event.
Touch a life across the globe.
Starfish Treasure is now WorldLead Gifts!
WorldLead Gifts is an alternative way to celebrate giving. Rather than purchasing an item for a loved one, you can choose to purchase a gift for someone in need in the loved one’s name.
WorldLead Gifts is a ministry of Boca Raton Community Church, run by volunteers who want to make a difference in others’ lives while reducing excess in their own. Join us in touching lives across the globe!
Come celebrate with us!
We hope you’ll invite your friends and family to join us to celebrate our Savior’s birth!
Several special events are planned, and some groups will be taking a break over the holidays. Follow the link more more information.

Sexuality is a beautiful gift from God that has been twisted into a source of fear, shame, and secret sin, robbing many women of love, joy, and intimacy with God and others. Sexual brokenness is not the isolated experience of a few, but is experienced by many women in one way, shape, or form.
We want to invite you to join us for Redeemed: a powerful 3-month process where women are invited to pursue healthy, relational intimacy with God and one another as they seek to experience freedom from sexual sin and shame. This is a group that can add value to every stage of life regardless of whether you are single, dating, married, or somewhere in between. Whether you’ve experienced significant freedom in these areas or this is a consistent struggle, you can expect this journey to be a process of healing and transformation. We do this in community by practicing vulnerability, embracing our identity in Christ, and learning healthy intimacy.
If you would like to learn more or join, our first session will be an interest night for anyone to hear more about the group before committing to it. You’ll hear all about the vision, content, and heart of the group. Register below to receive more information!

Calling all men who want to experience the depth of God’s goodness, power, and love! Redeemed is a group that seeks to help men experience greater intimacy with God, healthy intimacy with others, and freedom from strongholds of sexual sin.
This 3-month process will provide authentic community, a Christ-centered approach to freedom, and equipping necessary to pursue purity for decades to come. Rather than having a behavior-centered strategy, this group has a heart-centered strategy focused on seeing satisfaction and joy in God as the key to transformation. We pursue this by practicing vulnerability, embracing our identity in Christ, and learning healthy intimacy.
Whether you are far along in your journey or just starting to pursue God’s design for sexuality, this is the group for you. If you would like to learn more or join, our first session will be an interest night for anyone to hear more about the group before committing to it. Register below to receive more information!
There is no cost to attend the interest night but there will be a cost of $40 for those who decide to join the group. This will cover participants books, refreshments, special meals and more. Come join us for this life-changing season!

Journey for the Heart Devotional
by Elizabeth A Mitchell
“How to make it through? What to lean on when wobbly foundations buckle beneath your feet and ceilings sag precariously above? Look ahead. Keep your mind firmly fixed on the manger’s child and his reason for entering our world. Listen again to the angel’s newscast delivered in the midnight sky….”
