Join us for The Ripple Effect, a Community Faith Summit that is bringing us together to do great things in our San Joaquin County neighborhoods. We will gather online to be encouraged and motivated by keynote speaker Bubba Paris, a three-time Super Bowl champion. Community leaders, like Pastor Robert T. Schlipp, Dr. Traci Miller, Carol Ornelas and Jake and Alison McGregor from the 180 Teen Center, along with guest appearances from Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln, and Lodi Mayor Alan Nakanishi, will inspire us to get involved, develop relationships and build up our neighborhoods.

Let’s create a Ripple Effect.

You see the ripple effect stirring up the water, from his love let his good works flow
You see the ripple effect of those who need the father. Imagine just how far it can go……”
