34 Stories of New Life

10/28/2026

Across every campus and MicroCampus, 34 adults, students, and kids stepped forward to publicly declare their faith in Jesus through baptism. Each one carried a different story, but they all shared the same decision: to follow Jesus. The church paused this weekend to thank God for every one of them and to look back at the moments captured in photos, the smiles, the cheers, and the joy of new life.

464 Weekends and Counting

10/26/2026

In the fall of 2017, a group of people pulled up to Valley Center Middle School with a trailer full of equipment and a lot of faith. They set up a church, tore it down, and came back to do it again the next week. October 2026 marked 464 weekends of that same rhythm: the same hallways, the same early mornings, a nursery in a borrowed classroom, and middle schoolers meeting in a hallway with one table who keep showing up anyway. And through it all, God has been faithful. The last three years have been the most fruitful in Valley Center’s history, with record decisions for Jesus, record baptisms, and more people in groups than ever before. That impact has reached beyond the school, too, through a school support drive in August, presents under trees in December, and families in crisis served through CarePortal.

An Oasis in the Darkness

10/19/2026

For a long time, Renee was someone much of our city walked past. She was living on the streets, caught in addiction, and cut off from everyone around her. She was angry, too, asking where God could possibly be in all of it. Then, on her birthday in 2025, with nowhere else to turn, Renee quietly cried out to God for some reason to hope. Not long after, she walked into Pathway’s Recovery Hub for the first time and found coffee, friendly faces, sober people, and real help. “There’s help, there’s hope, and I’ve been there,” she says now. Jesus met her there and broke the chains that held her. She’s still growing and still learning about Him, but she knows she is free, and she knows she isn’t alone.

9/3/2026

Last weekend, across all of our campuses, including our MicroCampuses, 49 adults, students, and kids took a bold and beautiful step of faith and were baptized.

Valley Center's Next Chapter Begins

7/15/2026

For almost nine years, Pathway's Valley Center campus operated without a permanent home. Week after week, a dedicated team pushed road cases into a school building, set up for service, and tore it all down again once it ended. Through nine years of that rhythm, the campus stayed faithful to its mission and kept seeing lives changed by Jesus.

Wells Parent Partnership Story

6/21/2026
