❤️ Help the Stewart Family Rebuild After a Devastating House Fire

In the early morning hours of November 21, 2025, around 3:30 a.m., tragedy struck the Stewart family when their home caught fire.

By the grace of God, Timothy and Tara, along with their five children (ranging from middle school to college age), made it out safely. Sadly, the family lost three of their beloved cats, and their home, filled with years of love and memories, has suffered catastrophic damage.

The garage, which stored countless mementos, family bicycles, and essential household items, was destroyed. The rest of the home has severe smoke and fire damage, especially throughout the kitchen and living areas. Most of the family’s clothing, shoes, school supplies, and daily necessities are no longer usable.

About the Stewart Family

Timothy and Tara Stewart are pillars of the Lodi community.

• Timothy serves as the Pastor of Vintage Church, faithfully leading and caring for so many.

• Tara is the Director of Communications, known for her creativity, kindness, and unwavering support of others.

• Together, they co-chair Love Lodi, a city-wide volunteer movement that inspires civic pride, community service, and kindness across our city every year.

Through their leadership, countless lives have been touched. They have spent years lifting others up, serving selflessly, and spreading hope wherever they go.

Now It’s Our Turn

Their tireless efforts to build up and bless the community of Lodi have left a lasting impact. Now it’s our turn as a city, a community, and as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to lift them up in their time of need.

This is our opportunity to stand together to show the Stewarts the same compassion, faith, and love that they’ve poured out so freely to everyone around them.

Your donation, no matter the size, will help the Stewart family:

• Secure temporary housing and replace essential needs (clothing, food, toiletries)

• Provide for their children’s school needs and daily necessities

• Begin the long process of rebuilding and restoring their home

Every prayer, every dollar, every share reminds the Stewarts that they are not alone — that the community they’ve so faithfully served is surrounding them with love and support.

Let’s come together to help the Stewarts rebuild and remind them that Lodi stands with them, stronger than ever.

Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and continued prayers.
