What do I do when I arrive?
Early Childhood Infant-Preschool
Our Staff Our Early Childhood is staffed by a team of CPR & First Aid certified coordinators for each service time. All of our ministry workers have gone through a background screening in order to serve in our Early Childhood.
When You Arrive A staff member will meet you at the check-in area to receive your child and a baby bag. Please note any information that will help in caring for your child, such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies, and special needs. During the check-in of your child, you will be given a card with your child’s name. To retrieve your child, return the card at the end of service. This is for the safety of the children and ensures that each child is returned to the correct parent.
Infant/ Toddlers Infants age 0-walking and Toddlers age walking-2 1/2 years old will enjoy loving attention, curriculum developed just for them, and playtime in a clean, nurturing environment.
Preschool Preschool children, ages 2 ½ and potty trained through Preschool, will learn about God’s love through His creation in classrooms that are fun and inviting. They will interact with learning stations, stories, puppets and songs that children come home signing.
Snacks Crackers and cheerios are provided for babies 9 months and older. Our toddlers 13-24 months will also have animal crackers or goldfish crackers.
*** Early Childhood Check-in and classes are located in the Main Sanctuary.
We have partnered with New Hope Opportunities in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Members of our congregation have made annual trips for the last several years to minister to the poorest people in that country. We believe in the Words of Jesus who instructed us to be His hands and feet to help the less fortunate. We are encouraged to use our God-given talents to meet the needs of others in our community. We have a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ. A mission trip is a life-changing experience; a team is already coming together for the July 2018 trip to Honduras. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.” Matthew 25:40

Remember and Imagine
“GreenAcres is the place to be!” More than 50 years ago, GreenAcres First Assembly of God began meeting in a tent in an almond orchard. Together a building was erected in GreenAcres — a “spit spot” on the map known for its horse and agricultural property — northwest of downtown Bakersfield. Body Exchange gym at the corner of Rosedale Highway and Calloway Drive serves as today’s current landmark where the church was built.
What We Believe
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily. References: II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; and Acts 1:8.
About the Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error. References: II Timothy 1:13, 3:16; II Peter 1:20, 21; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; and Proverbs 30:5.
About Human Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for God, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God, called “sin”. This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. References: Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6: Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; and Isaiah 59:1,2.
About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. References: Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; and Romans 5:1.
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in unison with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. References: John 2:25, 3:16, 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; and Matthew 1:8, 2:44,46.
