As our guest, we do not want you to feel obligated to participate in the offering unless you have a desire to; this is how those who call El Camino Baptist their church home support its ministries. If you have children with you, we encourage you to take advantage of our great preschool and children’s worship. This will free you and others to give full attention to worship and God’s Word — and your kid (s) will have a great time. See someone from Guest Services for assistance.
