General Information

In a world where confusion reigns and headlines stir fear, many are asking: What’s really happening and what does the Bible say about it? From war and rising global tension to moral collapse and spiritual deception, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But Scripture reminds us that even in times like these, God is not silent and He is not finished.

Join us in Goleta, California, on August 29, 2026, at 9AM PDT for the Hope for Our Times: Santa Barbara Conference, hosted by Pastor Tom Hughes. This one-day event will be held at SOUTHCOAST Church and will feature powerful teaching from respected voices in Bible prophecy, including Pastor Brandon Holthaus, Pastor James Kaddis, David Tal, Kathy Ireland, and Vera Bondarenko. The day includes four teaching sessions, a live Q&A panel, and time for fellowship and encouragement.

Together, we’ll examine current events through a biblical lens, explore what God’s Word says about the days we’re living in, and be reminded of the unshakable hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees.
