journey on, pastor bill
We are saddened at the news of the passing of our spiritual father in the faith, Pastor Bill Berry. He was the longest tenured Lead Pastor in Anthem's history. We are grateful for his life, legacy, and love to our church and to so many others over the course of his well-lived life. Our only comfort comes from knowing he is now at home in glory…with the Savior he spent a lifetime telling others about. The fullness of joy, at long last.
Well done, good and faithful servant.

Dear Anthem: Where we've been and where we're going
California is nearing the endemic (native) stage of COVID-19. For many, this will be a welcomed transition after two-years of pandemic-level mitigation. For Anthem, this means we move from being a pandemic church to an endemic church. The implications are exciting, as Anthem can finally dream and plan for ministry in a sustainable, in-person context. "Dear Anthem" is a love letter to our church, framed around the introductions to various letters of the New Testament. It is an encouragement about where we've been and a vision for where we're going in the endemic stages of ministry. We encourage everyone who calls Anthem Church their home to join us through this critical series, which will feature a slew of important announcements concerning our future.
We Are All About Jesus.
He is, without a doubt, the most famous person in all of human history. More songs have been written about him, artwork created of him, and books written about him than anyone who’s ever lived. Even our calendar is based off his life, dividing time before and after him. Naturally, someone this important will have fans and foes. Most think they have an idea of who Jesus is. However, much of those ideas are erroneous having come from pop culture, history books, hearsay, or even past experiences with "Christians". No matter where these ideas about Jesus come from, it is our aim and practice to Make Jesus Known as he truly is.
