Good Samaritan
Our Good Samaritan Ministry, or “Good Sam,” provides food assistance for people living in Stanislaus County. The name comes from Luke 10:25-37, where Jesus teaches what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself.” In this biblical parable, a traveling Samaritan saw a man in great need and he showed him compassion. This Good Samaritan cared for the man and met his practical needs.
Appointments are scheduled 9:30AM-2:30PM, Mon-Thur. Our Good Sam building is located on the Big Valley Grace Campus behind the rear east parking lot.

Prayer & Visitation
The Care & Visitation Team regularly calls and prays for people on our prayer list who may be in the hospital or ill at home. Amazingly, this list averages close to 200 names each week! If you have a medical issue for which you would like prayer, or if you or a family member is ill at home or in the hospital and would like a visit, please contact us!
