Monthly Update

 July 2025 Monthly

  • Next All Gathering: 4:30 PM Sunday, July 6th  at Westside Church (7300 Stockdale Hwy) for our regular rhythm of worship, prayer, and teaching and taking the Bread & Cup as House Church communities. 

    As always, we look forward to spending time as a community around the table after our gathering. We'll be in the gym for the meal that evening. Please feel welcome to stick around for dinner and enjoy some tacos🌮! ($5 per person, with a max of $20 per family to help cover costs).

  • The Tuesday Night Ministry meets every Tuesday evening outdoors on the grounds of The Mission at Kern County, 816 East 21st Street. This ministry began over 30 years ago at one church, but God has turned it into a Body of Christ ministry with multiple churches and groups involved. A short message begins at 6:30 PM with dinner set up and serving beginning at 7:00 PM. Everyone is invited to serve, including families with children. We are also looking for those called to do worship from 6:00-6:30 PM on those evenings.

    Be aware that we will be outdoors from 6:30-8:00 PM, so dress accordingly.

    For more information and/or directions, call or text Henry Barrios (661) 204-0895, Ann Barrios (661) 319-7093, or Alyse Barrios Braaten (661) 364-1012
