Church for the city

Our story

A multigenerational family church on Florida Street, connecting Vallejo to Jesus and to each other.

Who we are

A community of Christ-led liberators

We seek disciples, not members. Relevant teaching, heartfelt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for anyone in need.

Our vision is simple: make it known in Vallejo as it is in heaven.
