CORE VALUES

We act justly.

We advance the cause of the fatherless, the orphan, the widow, and those populations included in the Beatitudes.

We love mercy.

We rejoice when others get a second chance, we generously offer others the opportunity to restore others and themselves to the saving power of Christ, and we humbly accept when we are offered mercy to do and be better for the Kingdom of God.

We walk humbly.

We know that all that we have and all that we are belongs to Jesus. Our accomplishments, our victories all are sourced by the same supernatural power even though they impact our natural state. So we walk humbly in the world to impact anyone in the spectrum of humanity that needs Jesus.

We give generously.

We don’t take for granted that which God has given us by his grace and riches in glory, and since we want to see God’s Kingdom and the gospel experience for everyone around us, we give so that the church can have the resources to capacitate many to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

your questions answered

How should I dress?

People come to Sacred wearing anything they would usually wear on a weekend or out for a meal with friends. So come comfortably!

Yes! Sacred Kids is for babies to elementary-age. Parents can check-in their kids during the main service for lessons, games, and fun projects.

What kind of Christian are you?

Sacred is part of an international network of churches known as the Assemblies of God and its regional expression, the Northern Californian-Nevada District. We like being part of something that is intentional about being both local and global, and it also creates accountability for our leaders and a network for impact outside of our personal circles.

What’s your political stance?

One of our leadership’s values is being publicly non-partisan; meaning we don’t bring politics into the church. We preach Jesus, and let the people discern for themselves what to do in the polls. Our group includes a variety of political persuasions. We try our best to be aligned with the Bible in both belief and conduct, treating people the way Jesus would. Also, we encourage individuals to be actively involved in their world and their city using their talents to make things better.

How long are your services?

Typically between 90-100 minutes, 10:10 am – 11:45 am.

What about parking? 

For your convenience and access, CalTrain station parking is one block away. Also, on-street parking is available all around our church building.

What happens in a service?

We typically start with coffee and conversation. It’s a great time to get your bearings and catch up on the week with friends.

At 10:15 am, we begin with music, singing a couple songs with words that mean something to us. Don’t want to sing? That’s okay. You won’t draw any unwanted attention to yourself. People take a couple minutes to say hi to each other, and then our pastor teaches from the Bible for about 35-40 minutes. We usually have a second set of music just to allow time to reflect before we conclude with a blessing from our lead pastor. All that to say: we try really hard not to throw any “curve balls” that will leave anyone feeling out-of-place.

What about money?

Without finances we couldn’t operate. But our contributions all go toward providing a facility, serving our city, bringing the good news about Jesus to the world, and supporting the staff that runs the organization side of the church. Our bank accounts are monitored monthly by a CPA firm chosen by our regional network. Sacred is a 501c3 non-profit corporation.

Are you an affirming congregation?

We are welcoming to anyone from all walks of life or backgrounds. But we also do not want you to feel blind-sighted by our teaching. We hold a conservative theology of sexuality, and are not an LGBTQ+ affirming congregation.
