April 7, 2026 — The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors presented our Pastor with an official proclamation for his lifelong service. He was also honored with the Legacy Award from the NAACP and recognized as Santa Barbara County’s longest reigning clergy member.

“For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.” — Psalm 100:5

For six decades, Pastor Ficklin has exemplified true leadership, unwavering dedication, and profound humility. His faithfulness to God’s call has not only shaped our church but has uplifted an entire community. Through every season, he has remained steadfast—preaching the Word, serving the people, and leading with grace, integrity, and love.

We honor his legacy, we celebrate his impact, and we thank God for his continued presence among us. Truly, a life poured out in service and a legacy that will endure for generations to come.

Congratulations, Pastor! We love you! ♥️✨
