Weekly fellowship

There will be an English-speaking gospel dinner at Hall 1 on Friday, May 9th, starting at 6:30 pm. We need strong prayers for the Lord’s blessing on this meeting, and for His preparation of the hearts of those who will be invited. Let us also seek the Lord to show us who are the ones He is moving in at this time, so that we may cooperate with the Lord in contacting them. 

We would like all who will attend the gospel dinner to sign up, for the sake of planning and recordkeeping. This would include both saints and guests. Please sign up and ask your guests to sign up (or you can sign up for them) by using the following link:

  • There should be one account login per registration. (Couples or families should have separate logins).
  • Full-time means you intend to attend all the meetings.

    selected when the part-time option is selected.
  • Full-time shared seat: A part-time shared seat is not allowed. Any shared seat must be occupied full-
    time. Therefore, it may be a better option to register for two part-time seats for flexibility rather than
    trying to fill a full-time shared seat.

    • The corresponding LSM registration form will record the registration with LSM for the Live training.

The church in Madrid, Spain, would like to purchase a house next door to its meeting hall for approximately $1.5 million, that would, together with the meeting hall and a second neighboring house already purchased and owned by the church, give the church possession of an entire city block. By such consolidating the ownership of the whole block, the church anticipates multiplying its capacity to host conferences and receive hospitality for the purpose of blending, since Madrid plays a central role in the Lord’s move in Europe’s Iberian Peninsula.  If you are burdened to make a donation to be applied towards the purchase of this house in Madrid, you can do so directly or through the church in Irvine’s website by designating your offering as being for the “Madrid House”. For the full letter from the church in Madrid, please click here.

Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.

The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org

The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.

If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.

For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)

Upcoming Events: Please see calendar here
