Outdoor Film Night & Picnic – Santa Barbara | October 3, 2025
Presented and sponsored by Focus on the Family
You're invited to a powerful outdoor screening of the newly released documentary Truth Rising, held in a private outdoor amphitheater in beautiful Santa Barbara.
Gather with others for a relaxed evening of food, fellowship, and film — all under the open sky.
This is more than just a movie night. Truth Rising is a timely and compelling film that explores the cultural confusion of our day — and the call for Christians to stand firm in truth with clarity, courage, and compassion.
About the Film
Produced by Focus on the Family and the Colson Center, Truth Rising features powerful voices including:
Os Guinness, renowned social critic and author
