I have been to Ensenada maybe four times in my life—the first two visits being a passenger on a cruise ship. It was on one of these trips that I saw the shantytowns that people were existing in.

This was my first mission trip and I had no idea what to expect. I was out of my comfort zone. I trusted that God would help me show His love as I joined with other Christians to build a house for a needy family. It was such a pleasure to meet the Munguia family

By Kevin Adams Each week we come forward. Young and old. Spiritual veterans and rookies. Adolescents walking as if propelled by jet engines or ample caffeine. Seniors teetering on the arms of their married partner or friend of 50 years. It’s the end of our worship service, and time again for weekly communion. Our worshipers come

My name is Sam Gutierrez. I’m happy and grateful to be back at Granite Springs Church. What do I mean by “back?” Well, some of you might remember me from way back when… I worked at Granite Springs at a Junior high and Senior high youth pastor from 2000-2003 (when GSC was worshipping in that
