In Genesis 41:41, an immigrant equips Egypt to survive, thrive and help their neighbors get through famine. Joseph catalyzed the nation. Located at the center of the Granny’s Park Neighborhood, 2024 E. Pontiac Way, Fresno, CA, we have a mission to equip people to use their gifts and resources to develop themselves and their communities.

And further “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God”. Micah 6:8

A community is strong…

when neighbors know each other, communicate, work together, pool resources, and help create spaces that are safe, healthy, walk-able, livable, friendly, well-lighted, accessible to transportation, close to shopping and healthy food, and economically viable.

We believe that spiritual vitality and community is an essential component of this mix and that churches have a place at the community table as contributors to the health and well-being of neighborhoods.

We empower the community by…

creating opportunities for people to assess their economic position and giving them access to tools that will enable them to change their lives.

We are creating third place spaces…

where people can gather together, congregations where they can worship and share a common life in their own languages, shopping experiences where they can have dignity and get things they need, educational resources, job mentoring, business coaching, and children’s activities.
