We’re excited that the women from our Women’s Campus will be attending the Collective WMN Spring One Day Event this Saturday, May 30th at 11AM at The Studio, hosted by our valued partner church, The Collective Church.

This meaningful day of worship, encouragement, community, and refreshment is a wonderful opportunity for the women to be poured into and strengthened in their faith. We are grateful for partnerships like The Collective Church that invest in the lives of women and create spaces where they can grow, connect, and encounter God.

Please join us in praying for an impactful and refreshing experience for all who attend! 💜

What an amazing time at the SoCal Assemblies of God Network Conference held at Visalia First Assemblies of God! 🙌✨

The Kern County Women’s Choir and Central Valley Men’s Choir came together in unity to worship and minister through song at this powerful conference. It was such an honor to be part of a gathering centered around the theme “Set Free” — a reminder of the freedom and transformation found in Jesus Christ. 🔗✝️

We were also blessed to hear Pastor Ron Brown share and present the incredible work God is doing through Teen Challenge of Southern California, bringing hope, restoration, and freedom to lives across our communities.

Grateful for the opportunity to worship alongside so many believers and witness lives being impacted for the Kingdom. All glory to God! ❤️🙌
