About Us

In the late 1970's, the Lord led pastor Bob Grenier, (at that time, Pastoring a Calvary Chapel Church in Eugene Oregon ) to move to California's heartland and plant a new work. Started in 1978 with two home fellowships, and a Sunday Afternoon service at a local community room, the fellowship began to grow, and soon, moved into the larger facilities of the Visalia YMCA building. While at the YMCA, the church continued to flourish as a result of the Lord's blessings. Around the late 80's the Lord provided us with 12.7 acres, on which we built our church offices.

Ministries

The desire to serve is a natural and proper response to the work of Christ within you. Where to serve becomes the big question. The apostle Paul uses the “body” as a metaphor to describe how the local church should function. Each one of us is a unique part of the body of Christ, and just like our human bodies, each part has a specific purpose. You were designed for a specific work; we want to make sure that you do not serve in an area of ministry that God has not called you to do. It would be much like filling the position of a kneecap with an elbow and trying to force it to work. { more }
