FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

We've taken a lot of time to be certain of what God wants us to be doing. We'll fill out this page a little more later, but for now, these statements will do:

             We believe that the mission of the Christian endeavor, no matter what denomination or congregation, is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.

             We see our own unique purpose as one congregation among many here in Tulare and Tulare County to be:    planting with prayer for the display of God's glory!

And with that in mind, the vision for our church we believe has been given by the Lord through his Holy Spirit, is that we will be:   a thousand @ Prayer!

Now what will it take to be a “thousand at prayer”? It will take every talent and every skill we've developed, every spiritual gift that we've been given. We believe that every member of this congregation has a part in fulfilling and implementing this vision. Not all will be on their knees 8 hours a day (although some with the gift of “intercession” may well be!). But it doesn't take much imagination to see that the gifts of service, helps, administration and hospitality will also be necessary to provide a “coffee hour” for a thousand people every Sunday!

Come take your place in this Kingdom adventure!

Situated in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, half-way between Fresno and Bakersfield (about an hour's drive each way) the church is located at the corner of North Laspina and East Prosperity in Tulare, CA. It is three "lights" east of the Prosperity Ave. exit off of HWY 99 (north or south bound).   See the "About Us" page for map link, and other contact info.

GLAD YOU FOUND US!

Are you looking for a Christian church that has a clear focus of ministry, excited about who they are, and not in competition with any other church in town?
Are you looking for a congregation that seems to really like each other? And makes a fuss over new folks that show up?
Are you looking for a church that's not afraid to boldly proclaim the real “reason for the season?” Jesus?!
Or perhaps you just need to figure out what this church business is all about, and the room to do it?
We're not perfect, but we like to think that these questions reflect who we are as a working Christian congregation.
