On Sunday March 10, 2024, The Church of the Loving God, located at 4202 Delta Street in San Diego. celebrated its 23rd Annual Women’s Day.

The Church of the Loving God (COLG), which is a non-denominational church, has been operating in an underserved division of San Diego for over 25 years. The COLG Women’s Group was formed shortly after the church doors opened to help address the needs of the community.

This beautiful and uplifting event was hosted by none other than the “Mother Theresa” of San Diego, Dr. Netreia Carroll, who’s tireless work for those in need is known throughout the state. This years’ celebration highlighted local artists who came out to help celebrate, such as 2017 and 2021 Prestige Rap Artist of the year Charles Egypt and Evangelist Elizabeth Warren.

This year’s theme was “Women Behind the Mask”. Each member of the Women’s Group painted and created masks that represented who they are and spoke on how God helped them to take off the masks they wear daily to hide their pain, fears and loss. There were times the celebration was tearfully inspired, and other times the journeys were fun and hilarious to watch. No matter how they represented themselves, you came away knowing a little about these women and how taking off their masks for Christ helped them become better Christians. It was a blessed and amazing time for all who attended.

The Church of the loving God Annual Banquet will be held on April 27, 2024, at Chula Vista Golf Course & Venue for ticket information , please contact COLG at (619) 794-4709.
