We minister to approximately 250 children and 40 teenagers weekly from these areas and also hold Bible studies for adults. These people come from diverse ethnic backgrounds, but all have in common a low economic status. Once we evangelize these children, teens and adults with the gospel, we invest discipleship time into them. We have Discovery Groups for 4th - 6th graders who become believers. They meet in groups of three or four children with a mentor who guides them in their faith.
Small groups meet for believing teens.
Adults participate in a Timothy study program. We have started Bethany Church in the Lowell community, and are targeting new areas of urban Fresno with the goal of planting more churches. In addition to the five homes in our ministry areas which house missionaries, the Community Center building has a gym, recreation rooms, kitchen, offices and classrooms. Our long-range plan focuses on church planting. We have partnerships with many churches and ministries as we network with Christians in Fresno to advance the Kingdom and take Fresno for Jesus.
