Ben Watson

Our associate pastor, Ben Watson, is one of the leaders for our youth ministry. Together the youth and Pastor Ben are able to praise the Lord through various different activities. Some of these activities include going on Sabbath afternoon hikes, having vesper nights in the youth room, at the beach, or at someone's house, or going on fun adventures to new places.

Any questions, email Pastor Ben at benjamin.watson@seccsda.org.

"Lets Bless Each Other, Shall We?"

What is the Blessing Exchange?

This ministry is a project similar to a Buy Nothing Project group. It is a place where we can bless our church family by gifting each other items that we no longer use. We can pass along to each other anything from books, clothing, furniture, toys, etc.

How Do I Join?

The Blessing Exchange ministry has a private group on Facebook where they post the different items they would like to bless others with. To join this group, click here.

Carolina Nuñez

"I started this group after I saw a Buy Nothing Project group in my neighborhood and realized how much of a blessing it is to receive an item I have needed for free. I wanted to bring this to my church community and have them be blessed as well. I hope this can really help many people out, whether it be a piece of furniture, or a book being given away".

To join the group, text Carolina at (949)-302-9477, or email us at lnsdaoffice@gmail.com so we can get you in touch with her!
