Our Mission
Our purpose is to make disciples of Christ by the proclamation of His Word. We have the Great Commission always in view (Matt 28:19-20). We seek that God would be glorified by the worship of people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. As a local church, we commit to expository preaching of the Bible, biblical discipleship resulting in the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, transcendent worship, fellowship, and biblical evangelism for the purpose of building up the body of Christ. We strive to be a biblical church, doing biblical things the biblical way. We greatly desire to be Christ’s witnesses both in our local area and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
To enable this to happen there are people and teams all across the nation pushing this common vision. All this requires time, investment and application of the gifts God has given to each of us. We realize these lofty goals are not accomplished by a single local church in isolation. Thus, in keeping with the biblical model of local churches working together in cooperation for biblical goals, we are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The SBC is comprised of 47,000 local churches pooling resources together for biblical purposes: missions, church planting, evangelism, biblical education, discipleship, disaster relief, etc. Together we are able to send thousands of missionaries to unreached people groups, plant thousands of new churches in the North America, provide relief to victims of natural disasters, train and equip the next generation of pastors, and train and equip the people of God for gospel service.

Our History
Jesus Christ created His church on the Day of Pentecost almost two-thousand years ago (Acts 2). Ever since that day, new local churches have continually sprung into existence in many places all over the world. God saw fit to bring forth Sovereign Way Christian Church as one of Christ’s local churches in May of 2010 when a few pastors from another local church clearly felt the pull of God in this direction. We started out as a house church of less than 30 members. Within two months, we moved into a local hotel conference room for nearly a year. In 2011, we moved into a small commercial space. In 2013, we moved into a bigger industrial building and remained there for five years. In 2018, the Lord blessed us with ownership of our own building. We are still at this location and have continued to experience steady growth.
For SWCC’s entire history, we have delivered the meat of God’s Word through our preaching, small group Bible Studies, evangelistic outreaches, book authorship, blogs, public debates, and involvement in global missions. In 2013, SWCC affiliated itself with the Southern Baptist Convention, thus increasing its impact in Great Commission efforts.
As a testament to the faithfulness of God, SWCC accomplished everything it did in its first seven years without a single full time pastor. All the pastors were bi-vocational. They worked full-time jobs, and then put an extra 20-30 hours a week into the care of the church. It became evident, however, that if Sovereign Way was to expand its ministry even further, it needed to begin bringing on pastors full time. In 2017, Sovereign Way was pleased to bring on one of the founding pastors, Stephen Feinstein as its first full time pastor. Since that time, there has been a steady increase in the church’s ministry output. In 2020, Sovereign Way became the sending church of a new church plant in Victorville called Sovereign Trinity Church. The goal is to continue to plant more local churches.
Sovereign Way Christian Church is serious about the Word of God and making disciples. We welcome all who desire the same to be part of the history of SWCC.
