    In 2017, FPC Fresno entered into a partnership with the Coalition for Christian Outreach, better known as the CCO. Since that time, First Pres has been blessed to watch numerous college-age students grow in their walk with Jesus through Programs, gatherings, outreach events, and the annual Jubilee Conference in Pittsburgh. In today’s conversation, you’ll hear from one of these young adults, Sarah Tacchino, who is now serving as a CCO Intern while finishing her college degree.
