THE JOY OF FEARING GOD
Finding Freedom and Joy in God
Apr 30 - May 3, 2026 | Battle Ground, WA
We live in a culture of fear. Yet the irony is that people in our day fancy to fear just about anything but God. We fear political agendas, social rejection, bad influences, crime, disease, carcinogens, environmental dangers, etc. Anxiety is at an all-time high, and yet so are security mechanisms, psychological therapy, and medications. The fear of God is the key to dispelling all other fears. Learning to fear God is learning to live in the freedom and joy of true God-centeredness.

Conference Speakers
Manny Pereira
Manny V Pereira III was born and raised in the Central Valley of California. He served the Roman Catholic Church as an altar boy (altar server) from the age of five to sixteen. God opened his heart to see the glory of Christ and the wickedness of his own sin under the preaching of the gospel in a Protestant church. God graciously granted him repentance and faith in Christ in the summer of 1992.
From a young age, Manny has enjoyed and studied God’s creation. He became a student of physics. With two applied science degrees, he entered IBM’s Almaden Research Center. After seven years of success at the Almaden laboratory, he gracefully departed from the science and technology profession to pursue training for ministry.
Trinity Bible Church had been Manny’s home church for several years by the time that he was wrestling with the idea of entering ministry. Prior to moving his family to Southern California for seminary, Trinity Bible Church called him to serve them in pastoral ministry. He and his wife gladly accepted. The church generously aided and supported Manny through seminary. Others from Grace Community Church in Sun Valley helped with transportation and lodging. He traveled weekly from San Jose to Burbank and back for three-years. Through it all, his wife proved to be the most remarkable supporter of all. Manny now holds a Master of Divinity degree from The Master’s Seminary (listed in the TMS Alumni Directory). He also serves as a regional leader of the The Master’s Fellowship.
