Invest a weekend getting away from it all and getting back to the basics of just being together. Whether its enjoying a morning of golf, an afternoon at the spa or an evening out with friends, you are sure to find something here to help you recharge, rebuild and renew together.

With over 25 fantastic restaurants in or around the hotel, and some of the best shopping in
San Jose, make plans now to attend The Foothills Church Marriage Retreat 2010.

Our Speaker:

Dr. Robert Flores, President of Life Pacific College, is a seasoned minister with years of experience in academic study, church planting and pastoral care. He values the study of God’s Word and has a passion to equip a generation that will reach the world with the love of Christ.

After graduating from LIFE Bible College in 1979, Dr. Flores continued his studies and received his M.Div. from Asbury Seminary in 1985. That same year he and his wife, Diana (DeeDee) planted North Dallas Foursquare Church in Carrollton, TX. He then went on to serve as part of the staff of Eastside Foursquare Church in Seattle, WA.

In 1994, the Flores family pioneered another church, planting West Salem Foursquare in Salem, OR, where they pastored for 14 years. During his years in Salem, Dr. Robert Flores furthered his education and earned his D.Min. from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2002.

2002 was also the year that Dr. Flores began serving as a member of the Board of Directors of The Foursquare Church, where he still serves today. He also became the Superintendent of the Capital Division of the Willamette District that year. Dr. Flores continued to serve as Superintendent until accepting the appointment as President of Life Pacific College in January of 2009.

In addition to his zeal for ministry and education, Dr. Robert Flores loves his family. He and his wife, DeeDee have raised two children, Kristin and Bo. Kristin currently serves on the staff of Foursquare Ignite, and Bo just graduated from LIFE and is serving at a church in Southern California.

We are very excited to announce a new service starting on Feb 5th at 7pm. “The Gathering” is focused on gathering young adults together and connecting them to God and each other. If you are a young adult and have been looking for a way to connect with other young adults around you, please come and check it out ! See Kevin, Eric or Craig for more info.

Growth is an essential element of being a follower of Christ. Here, at The Foothills Church, we practice the New Testament model of individual believers connecting with others in home groups. We care for each other, serve one another, bear each other’s burdens and rejoice together at the transforming work of God in our lives. We believe that each person finds greater spiritual fulfillment in becoming an active disciple rather than
remaining a spectator.

Our Life Groups provide an environment for us to grow properly and live dynamically. The ways of God are practical and life-giving, but they do often crowd us and challenge us to leave our natural comfort zones. We realize it is easier to just attend service on a Sunday morning than it is to make yourself vulnerable and accountable to others on a regular basis. Being available for one another, however, is the basis for the kind of life Jesus wants us to live.

Each Life Group is like a small church within the larger body of The Foothills Church. They provides the opportunity for Bible study, learning, worship, discussion, prayer, confession, discipleship, encouragement, counsel, support and love.

The emphasis of each Life Group is on how we can build relationships, serve one another and how we can, through counsel and mercy, serve both the church at large and our community. There is no surer way to become vitally linked with others in our church than through Life Groups.

Look on the bellow at the directory to see where you can find a group to go to. There is sure to be a group that is right for you.

What does it mean to be truly “Blessed by God” ? Join us as we dive into God’s word to discover this common phrase, and find some very uncommon answers.

I am very excited to announce a new online ministry. It is a website for
us to share, AS WE ABIDE together in Christ. My desire is for it to be
inspirational,instructional, and interactive. I will be blogging at least
weekly about various topics, and hope you will interact with me. My goal for
this site is to have a place where we can share our hearts, our questions,
and the things the Lord is teaching us. A place where we can encourage one
another, learn from one another, and draw from one another’s gifts and
strengths, AS WE ABIDE together.

Also, a feature on this new website will be Abide teachings. This will
primarily be from Ladies Bible Study, but will also include retreats and
other special events. This Tuesday, 1/12, I am beginning a new series, “To
Be or Not To Be… That Is The Answer”.

Click on the link below to join me now.
I pray this will be one of the “New Blessings” in your new year.

I look forward to all that the Lord has for us in this new season.

Big Hugs!
