THE RANCH CHURCH SERVICE UP-DATE
Hello Friends,
You can have great peace today.
Peace is not something that can be bought. Peace comes from God as a free gift through Jesus Christ our Lord but, the muscle of peace is faith and faith must be exercised daily.
Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:14 speaking about Jesus, puts the matter rather bluntly, “For he himself is our peace...”
While peace cannot be bought, it can be thrown away. We throw it away when things like the Corona Virus distract our hearts. Instead of focusing on our relationship with Christ, we give our minds over to dark places and find ourselves full of negativity.
Allow me to encourage you, God will see you through this present darkness---this too shall pass.
With all the moment by moment changes taking place, I am being asked if we are still meeting this Sunday. My answer is yes and of course.
TRC will now host Sunday Services and other ministries in a virtual format.
We’ve been asked to make this change and we fully embrace it.
This is an open door to step forward in faith.
Here is what is going to happen:
By this Sunday, you will receive a link taking you to our YouTube site where you will see Casey leading us in worship and myself bringing The Word. We believe, all the more now, people will be saved.
We know God is guiding and protecting us.
Here is what you can do:
Please pray for TRC, that our witness will be strong.
- Please pray for the weak and vulnerable in our community, join together in praying no weapon fashioned against Christ will prosper.
- Please pray for Jesus to individually show us the many people we are to reach out to.
- Please pray for no physical, spiritual or financial harm to come to anyone.
- Please pray for me as I meet with local officials strategizing how best to get us all through these strange days.
Lastly, tune in this Sunday as TRC goes virtual and tell your friends.
More to come.
Always love.
Rick Soto

CONNECTIONS
The Ranch Church believes in developing Connections within the church as a primary way to spread the Gospel. Connection groups strives to connect people with each other through small groups of 8 - 10 people who gather together to discuss the weeks sermon and through a list of questions to develop relationships and understanding of the Gospel. These groups are called Life Connections. In addition, The Ranch Church has other Group Connections to help further the relationship among the members of the congregation who gather to discuss various scriptures. Check out the Connection Groups below and be welcomed to a growing family.
MISSIONS AND MINISTRIES
The Ranch Church is not just a place to meet each Sunday, but a church that spreads the Gospel through Missions around the world and Ministries here in the Santa Ynez Valley.

GIVE
GIVING IS A COMMUNITY EFFORT
Giving is a part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. At The Ranch Church, we want to encourage believers to give from their “first-fruits” and to give "what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
