Pioneer Meditations - The journey of a progressive Christian. Pastor Phil invites you to read his blog. It's the closest thing to writing his sermons he can offer.

Welcome to Pioneer United Church of Christ

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!

Who We Are

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.

Where We Are

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.

Open and Affirming

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.
