The city sits along Highway 99, making it easily accessible for visitors traveling through California’s Central Valley.

The city gained national recognition through its championship cross-country running program, reflecting the community’s determination and unity. This small-town atmosphere provides an ideal setting for meaningful fellowship and spiritual growth.
