The Church is in a location where it is one of the highest watched programs in the neighborhood for gang activity. Gangs here recruit kids as early as the age of six. One of the deadliest gangs in Fresno, “The Modoc Boys” live in this area and the church is purposefully located in the center of the area. The purpose of the church is to meet the needs of the community, Spiritually, Physically, Mentally, and Emotionally. The church has a soup and sandwich kitchen providing a free hot meal.

One day I was in the front of the church raking the yard and a neighbor lady in her mid-sixties walked by and went into the house next door. When she came out, she stopped and talked with me in a very happy manner. She was carrying a bag in her hand and she said "Every month, my social security check runs out and I don't have any money to buy food. The people in that house always help me with food for the rest of the month. "Right then, I knew that God was saying open up the back of the church for a feeding kitchen, and that's what we did”.
