For God so loved the world, that He gave His
one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish but will have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17

Freedom Warming Center
The Good Samaritan Shelter administers the Freedom Warming Center (FWC) program in Santa Barbara County. Carpinteria Community Church partners with the City of Carpinteria in providing compassion & care to those less fortunate. Days in red, when activated, will open a shelter at CCC. Days in white, when activated, will open a shelter at the Veterans Hall in Carpinteria.
November 15 - March 31
*Each year, during the FWC Season, November 15 – March 31, on nights when the temperature is expected to be at or near freezing and/or at least a 50% chance of rain, homeless guests in Carpinteria are invited to spend the night in a warm, dry, safe place.
Guests are checked in by FWC staff beginning at 6:00 PM and depart by 6:00 AM.
When Carpinteria Community Church is activated by FWC for a night, our loving volunteers serve a warm meal and provide caring hospitality to guests.
