The Big Picture
Sonoita Hills Community Church (sonoitahills.com and Facebook @SonoitaHillsChurch) (EFCA) is prayerfully seeking a full-time pastor to preach the Word of God and to shepherd the church.
The Church
Sonoita Hills Community Church grew from a home Bible Study in the late 1990’s to a larger group of believers who, with strong EFCA (Evangelical Free Church of America) support, later met at a school and then a local community club. In 2009, following the purchase of 10 acres of land and a very successful building program, we dedicated our new building and expanded our ministry as an “Outpost for Ministry Locally to Advance the Father’s Mission Globally.”
