Pastor Trace Martinez of Pillar Church of Oceanside
Apr 2000:26:00Tap to summarizePillar Church of Oceanside exists to know Jesus and to make Him known. We have a mission of doing that in our city and aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. We are part of a network of churches called The Praetorian Project that starts new churches outside military bases with the design of discipling highly transient people in military communities worldwide. Our church is focused on serving and equipping the people of the military, and is comprised of a mix of active duty military, military retirees, veterans, and community members who simply love our men and women in uniform. The lifestyle of the service member is unique and can be quite challenging--our desire is to support, encourage, equip, mobilize, and walk with these families and individuals during their time here. Our aim isn't to be LIKE family, rather to BE family. website, https://pillaroceanside.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
