The lessons are fun and approachable and taught by committed volunteers and staff who serve Jesus by serving you and your kids. PARENT'S ROLE A parent’s highest priority is raising their kids to live by faith (Eph. 6:4) - to be men and women who will stand before God at the end of their lives and hear Him say, “Well done!” In doing so, parents have three main responsibilities: The responsibility to model the gospel for their kids, both as individuals and as interdependent members of the gospel community. The responsibility to teach their kids the gospel message that results in gospel living. The responsibility to actively involve their kids in gospel living as their age and maturity allow. OUR ROLE The number one priority of Anthem Kids is to help parents fulfill these responsibilities. Our ministry exists to help parents raise their kids by providing the following: Tools, resources, and encouragement to help families raise their kids together in the “discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). Tools, resources, and encouragement to help families care for other families and kids in their neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. Age-appropriate teaching and worship environments for kids not yet able to understand and participate in the main Sunday gatherings.

Learn More  Common Questions What should I wear? Please feel free to come as you are; most people dress casually but feel free to wear what makes you comfortable. What about my kids? Children are highly valued here at Anthem.   Our children's ministry meets on Sundays beginning around 10:20am. Anthem Kids serve families and their children from six months of age through 5th grade. When you arrive you'll be greeted by a volunteer who will help walk you through our child check-in system.  Child safety is a high value for us. All of our kids volunteers receiving training and are background checked. If you prefer to keep your children with you for the duration of the gathering we welcome that as well.  How long is a gathering? Our gatherings usually last 75-90 minutes. We worship through song, scripture reading, the preaching of God's word, and the taking of communion together. Plan Your Visit Our Beliefs The Scriptures We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; Matthew 5:18; John 16:12, 13). The Trinity We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections. (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14). God the Father We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He infallibly foreknows all that shall come to pass, that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Luke 10:21,22; Matthew 23:9; John 3:16; 6:27; Romans 1:7; I Timothy 1:1,2; 2:5,6; I Peter 1:3; Revelation 1:6). God the Son We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. (John 1:1–2, 14; Luke 1:35). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. (Romans 3:24; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3–5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God the Father where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry as Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate. (Acts 1:9, 10; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:24; Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1–2). We believe Jesus is coming again to judge the living and the dead. (1 Peter 4:5; Romans 14:9; 2 Timothy 4:1). God the Holy Spirit We believe the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. (John 16:8–11; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18). The Church We believe that the church, which is the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons. (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 5:25–27; 1 Cor. 12:12–14; 2 Cor. 11:2). We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. (Acts 14:27; 18:22; 20:17; 1 Timothy 3:1–3; Titus 1:5–11). We believe in the autonomy of the local churches, free of any external authority and control. (Acts 13:1–4; 15:19–31; 20:28; Romans 16:1,4; 1 Cor. 3:9, 16; 1 Cor. 5:4–7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1–4). We recognize believer’s baptism and the Lord’s supper as scriptural means of supernatural testimony for the church (Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 2:41, 42; Acts 18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26). Spiritual Gifts We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowing of spiritual gifts. It is, however, the believer’s responsibility to attempt to develop their sovereignly given spiritual gifts. The baptism of the Spirit occurs at conversion and is the placing of the believer into the Body of Christ. We also believe that particular spiritual gift(s) are neither essential, nor prove the presence of the Holy Spirit, nor are an indication of deep spiritual experience. (1 Cor. 12:7, 11, 13; Ephesians 4:7–8). We believe that God does hear and answer the prayer of faith, in accordance with His own will, for the sick and afflicted. (John 15:7; 1 John 5:14, 15) We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of every believer to minister according to their gift(s) and the grace of God that is given to them. (Romans 12:1–8; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 Peter 4:10–11). Salvation We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. (Ephesians 2:8–10; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18–19) Assurance We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 6:37–40; 10:27–30; Romans 8:1, 38, 39; 1 Corinthians 1:4–8; 1 Peter 1:5) We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word, which clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for the flesh. (Romans 13:13, 14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11–15) About Anthem Church is a gospel-centered church  in Marin County, California.

Each week we gather together as a multi-generational body of believers to corporately worship Our Redeemer through song, prayer, and biblically faithful teaching.  Location We are conveniently located at 50 Los Ranchitos Road in San Rafael. We are near Highway 101 just off the North San Pedro Exit.  Common Questions What is your gathering like? When you arrive you'll be welcomed by one of our greeters. We have refreshments in our lobby that we invite you to enjoy. Our gathering begins at 10:00am where everyone (including children) worship through song. Following announcements we will have a five minute intermission where families can walk their children to their classroom. After intermission there will be a Scripture reading followed by an encouraging teaching. We will respond to the teaching by participating in Communion and continuing to worship through song.  In total our gathering typically lasts approximately 90 minutes each week.  What about my kids?
