As busy professionals, we are often judged by the things that we achieve and accomplish.  With professional success or failure, we face the danger of judging ourselves by these same standards.  Can we look past our worldly standards and see God’s truths applied in our lives?

Our speaker, DR. DANIEL CHANG, is a successful opthamologist, recognized for ground breaking laser vision correction research. Dr. Chang is also a founding board member for Advanced Center for Eyecare, a non-profit clinic that provides medical and surgical eyecare to the uninsured and underinsured people of Kern County.  Please join us as Dr. Chang discusses how he lives in full-time ministry.  For more biographical information on Dr. Daniel Chang, click here.

Bring a guest, and let’s share God’s truth together!

Disaster Preparedness
As people of faith, are we prepared to be the caring hands of Jesus during a disaster, extended to those who are afraid, in need of shelter, in need of hope? As part of its efforts to engage followers of Jesus to work together for community transformation, Disaster & Emergency Response (DER) is collaborating with public and private agencies to mobilize people of faith, as well as churches, to become part of a community-wide strategy for disaster preparedness.
