West Coast Mennonite Men's Chorus Concert
2026-05-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Grace Bible Church Arroyo Grande, 100 Rodeo Drive, Arroyo Grande, 93420, United States
Established in 1978, the WCMMC has been blessed with the honor of worshipping our Lord through music and also raising funds for relief work around the world. This group of committed men who love to sing have joined together to form the West Coast Mennonite Men’s Chorus. Although rich in the Mennonite tradition of singing as a significant form or worship, this group now represents men from many walks of life and various churches who commit their time and talent to this time-honored endeavor. Centered in the Fresno, California area, singers come from surrounding cities and states to practice and perform.
Several concerts are performed each year. Funds raised through free-will offerings at each concert help support the projects associated with disaster relief and humanitarian efforts throughout the world. The chorus has been an active supporter of world relief projects throughout the chorus history; more than $550,000 has been raised to date. All funds raised go to directly to the project. The expenses associated with the operation of the chorus are covered through sponsor donations and underwriting by members of the chorus itself.
This concert is free, but a love offering will be taken for their ministry.

Mark Trammell Quartet
2026-08-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Armona Central Assembly of God, 14341 Hanford-Armona rd, Armona, 93202, United States
When: August 6 (@7pm)
Where: Armona Central Assembly of God (14341 Hanford Armona Rd. Armona, CA 93202)
For over fifty years Mark Trammell has been blessed to sing Gospel Music. Something he says, “evolved from a dream to a life’s call; from just singing to ministry.” Many long time observers and followers of Gospel Music consider him to be one the greatest baritone singers of all time. He has won multiple awards as a singer and producer, and has been a member of four of Gospel Music’s most acclaimed groups – The Kingsmen, The Cathedrals, Greater Vision and Gold City. For most people, just being with one of these legendary groups would be the pinnacle of a career and justification for resting on your laurels. But for Mark now is not the time to kick back and relax. Instead, it is time to step into a fresh mission that focuses on evangelism through the seamless integration of Gospel Music and preaching – The Mark Trammell Quartet.
If surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the keys of success, then Mark Trammell might be considered a ‘master locksmith’. Since he was 15 years old, Mark has literally been surrounded by and sung with some of the most respected men in Southern Gospel Music including Ray Shelton, Eldridge Fox, Jim Hamill, Squire Parsons, Ray Reece, Tim Riley, Glen Payne, and George Younce.
Mark states that the major reason for turning this trio into a quartet is the fact that he desires to help perpetuate the craft that he has given his life to, and to present every aspect of pure gospel quartet music to the best of their ability. In April 2012 MTQ celebrated 10 years of watching God take the unlikely and do the abnormal with only two ingredients involved in its success. Man’s obedience to the call of God, and God’s supernatural power to do the impossible thru those who are stubborn enough to simply believe He can.

About Big Daddy Weave

Known for honest songs that tell personal stories of freedom in Christ, Big Daddy Weave has long been admired for their real-life, real-person openness. With songs like Redeemed, God Is In This Story, Heaven Changes Everything, My Story, The Lion and the Lamb, Overwhelmed, and Let It Begin, Big Daddy Weave has become one of the most beloved bands in Christian music.
Millions have taken their anthems of the chain-breaking love of Jesus as their own and sung along to songs about the radical act of redemption. The band’s openness to go through whatever doors God opens for them has kept them going since their early days as students at the University of Mobile. Big Daddy Weave’s testimony is about a deep and personal faith in Jesus, no matter the circumstances.
A mainstay at radio, the band has achieved multiple No. 1 singles. RIAA Platinum-certified Redeemed became an anthem of unprecedented impact when it spent 11 weeks at No. 1, was dubbed “Song of the Year” at the first annual K-LOVE Fan Awards, and earned Dove Award and Billboard Music Award nominations. Their follow-up hit, The Lion and The Lamb, has become one of the genre’s most-streamed songs.
Big Daddy Weave members are Mike Weaver (lead vocals, guitar), Jeremy Redmon (guitar, vocals), Joe Shirk (saxophone, keys, vocals), Brian Beihl (drums), and Raul Alfonso (bass). They have amassed more than one billion career streams and have received numerous honors, including a Dove Award, ASCAP and BMI Awards, and the prestigious Rich Mullins Artist Impact Award, among
others.

Crown Valley Youth Ranch is a nonprofit 501(c)3 ministry that is nondenominational. We serve the families of Tulare County through mentoring (often one on one) of children 6 to 18 years old. Kids come in for a 90 minute “session” every other week. The session is generally divided into 3 features: Counsel time, chore time and activity time. Activities include our horse program, petting zoo, gardening, arts and crafts, fishing, woodworking and home economics. We want to offer hopeful perspective for future life decisions while offering fun and life skill development. We share the gospel of Jesus Christ in everything we do and focus on building relationships over time.
Another feature of CVYR is horse rescue. We have seen the value of rehabilitation of horses because many of our kids can identify with what the horse has gone through. Horses that have been neglected, starved and abused give hope to kids who have been treated similarly. Both did not ask or deserve the situation that was cast upon them. Wounded horses and wounded children understand each other. In that relationship trust and hope can be experienced.
Everything is offered FREE OF CHARGE! No family pays anything for bringing their children.
