General - Joshua - Mt. House/Telugu-Bathula

When: Friday, Evening    Where: 500 Block N Tramonto Court Mountain House, CA 95391

The book of Joshua plays an important role in the overall message and history of the Old Testament. Among other things, it chronicles Israel's entry into Canaan after the Exodus and 40 years of wandering in the wilderness as well as the Israelite conquest of the promised land of Canaan.

When: Sunday, Evening    Where: 200 Block of East Cara Court Mountain House, CA 95391

"Follow me" said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). God's design has been for every disciple of Jesus to make disciples until the gospel spread to all peoples. Tragically we have taken Christ's command "TO GO", and mutated it into a comfortable call for Christians "TO COME". Join us EVERY OTHER Sunday at 6pm as we learn how to become fishers of men.

General - The Book of Jonah - Johnson

When: Thursday, Evening    Where: 1500 Block of Badger Way Tracy, CA 95304

Pastor and author Eric Mason offers a profound glimpse into the conflict that occurs when God calls resistant believers to His mission. The story of Jonah gives us a picture of a man on the run due to his own selfish desires. Jonah teaches us that God uses extraordinary circumstances to break our hearts of selfishness, convince us of His tender care, and unite our lives to His glory. Join us on this journey, Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm.

Women - I Surrender All - Roll

When: Monday, Evening    Where: Tracy Area Tracy, CA 95304

An invitation to surrender everything to Jesus. To follow Him not just as your Savior but as your priority, your first love, your Lord. To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple. There is a difference. Salvation is a free gift from God. It's grace. It's the cross. Discipleship comes at a high cost. It's surrender. It's effort. It's a daily choice to lay down your life and follow His. Few believers choose this route, but the ones who do will experience the abundance that only the surrendered life can offer. It's the one choice standing between you and the life of freedom and fulfillment, of peace and purpose you've always wanted. I Surrender All is all about making that choice. Join us Monday evenings at 6:30 pm.
