Canopy Church is a community of Jesus-followers—committed to one another in love, empowered by the Holy Spirit, formed in intimacy with God, and contending for the renewal of our city.

OUR CONVICTIONS

  • Committed to One Another in Love

    • A people of hospitality in a culture of polarization — creating spaces of welcome for strangers, neighbors, and friends.

    • A people of integrity in a culture of hiddenness — practicing truth-telling, honoring one another, and choosing to be known.

    • A people of reconciliation in a culture of rupture — growing through conflict and practicing forgiveness that binds us together.

  • Empowered by the Spirit

    • A people of surrender in a culture of control — humbly yielding to the conviction and leading of the Spirit.

    • A people attuned to God in a culture of noise — learning to listen, wait, and walk with the Spirit as a way of life.

    • A people of spiritual authority in a culture of self-reliance — growing in the power of the Spirit and bearing His gifts and fruit.

  • Formed in Intimacy with God

    • A people of abiding in a culture of restlessness — slowing down to live in friendship with God and alignment with His purposes.

    • A people of transformation in a culture of performance — reordering our lives around Scripture, prayer, and patterns that shape us into Christ’s likeness.

    • A people of maturity in a culture of novelty — embracing long obedience over a lifetime, growing in wisdom and wholeness.

  • Contending for Renewal

    • A people of worship in a culture of idolatry — publicly declaring that Jesus is Lord until the world is renewed.

    • A people of justice in a culture of injustice — pursuing mercy and righteousness in our city and world.

    • A people of hope in a culture of despair — living compassionately through service and faithful witness as signs of God’s coming kingdom.

We believe God’s primary work of renewal is brought about through the flourishing life of His Church in the world.

OUR STORY

At Canopy, everything begins and ends with Jesus. We are a church anchored in the person, life, and teachings of Jesus—seeking to be shaped into his likeness and to live as a sign of his kingdom.

Founded in 2016 as a family of house churches, Canopy was born around the dining room table. While our structures have grown and shifted over time, our heart for table fellowship has only deepened.

We seek to hold together streams of the Christian tradition that are often kept apart: contemplative and charismatic. We slow down to abide in God’s presence through prayer, Scripture, and silence, while also opening ourselves to the Spirit’s gifts, guidance, and fruit—so that our lives bear witness to Jesus with courage and joy.

Today, we continue to gather in homes across Orange County. These “Tables” are the heartbeat of Canopy—places where we share meals, share life, pray together, serve our neighbors, and grow as disciples through friendships of both support and challenge.

OUR BELIEFS

We hold to the historic teachings of Christian orthodoxy handed down in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. We are also aligned with more recent formulations of core Christian doctrine spelled out in the Lausanne Covenant and the statement of faith of the Langham Partnership.

In addition to these statements of faith, we hold the following core convictions based on our understanding of the belief and practice of the early Church as observed in the book of Acts.
