"Pioneer Congregational United Church of Christ, a diverse congregation, shares God's love with all, honors faith journeys, and serves our community." ~ Pioneer Focus Statement ~
It won't take you long to discover that this is truly a family, rich in the relationships that matter most. Growing together, we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn, and we reach out to our world with life-transforming truth. We reach out to you, as well. Our doors are open. Our hearts are open too. If you've been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, we say again...WELCOME!
Pioneer Congregational United Church of Christ is a Pioneer Church. It was the first church founded in Sacramento in 1849. Since the Gold Rush days, we have welcomed people from all walks of life.
There is a great diversity of beliefs held by our members. We find that unity in Jesus Christ and our differences add to the richness and strength of our life together. We are an open and affirming church that proclaims the love of Jesus Christ, the compassion that his love serves, and the humanity his love seeks to embrace.
We are located in midtown Sacramento at 2700 L Street, across from historic Sutter's Fort. Parking is available in the parking garage on 27th St. between N St. and Capitol Ave. Sundays from 7:00AM to 3:00PM as well as on the street.
We believe we are made in God's image, and as persons loved by God, we are called to fully accept ourselves and our sexuality. Recognizing that our Christian faith is the foundation of values in human relationships, we envision a community in which all persons will come to know, celebrate and have confidence in themselves as sexual beings. We reaffirm the traditional family, and we also recognize and support single persons, lesbian and gay relationships, single parent families and extended families. Read More
Please join us for worship every Sunday at 10:00AM. All are welcome.
