We desire to be followers of Jesus that are In the City for the City meaning we share the Gospel of Jesus’s saving grace as well as perform acts of restorative justice. We pursue this by building purposeful relationships with organizations and missionaries that share the same passion.
Mission and justice always go hand-in-hand.

Hundreds of children in our area enter foster care every year with nothing or with just a few items in a garbage bag.
Love Our Kids believes in the power of showing love to these kids during this scary time by offering a comfort kit filled with items to meet both physical and emotional needs during this life-changing transition.
We are excited to partner again with Love Stanislaus to donate 50 NEW stuffed animals and 50 shampoo and conditioner sets. Bring donations on Sunday mornings.
You can also volunteer to help assemble Comfort Kits on Dec 7: SIGN UP HERE
