Best 21 Churches in CA Near Davis

Susie Brumley An amazing church led by the Holy Spirit through Pastor Mark Washburn. Was looking for a church that truly taught the word of God and from the moment I walked into Valley Bible Church I knew I was home. All are welcome, Come as you are and worship with us. God bless you.

Frank Goossens Great place to worship the Almighty God!

Jean Vilmenay Its a small growing solid Biblical teaching and believing group of believers who gather weekly to learn more about following Christ and applying Gods word to their life. "Theres a place for you!" their mission in welcoming others to their fellowship. (I was definintely very warmly welcomed!) If you are looking for a place to learn about God, the role of Christ in your salvation, to apply Gods word to your circumstances and life, to fellowship, and belong, this would be a great place to for you. Theres a place for you! Sunday Service Starts at 11:00 AM

Dave n Kristen Boughton This is small church community who do a great job of getting to know one another while trying to share the gospel. The Sunday mornings include simple but authentic worship songs, weekly communion, and solid biblical teaching. I also love that it is located across from the UCD fields where I often play soccer and tennis.

Shawn I have attended the Bridge Church with my wife for about 10 months now and this is what I think. The Bridge welcomed us with warm hearts and the presence of the Lord was almost palpable in the church. I thought, praise God we found our church. What the Bridge means to me is family. To belong to a family of devoted followers of Jesus Christ, sharing the gospel, and sending the good new of Jesus to community. Pastor Chris has a remarkable way of communicating the scriptures. Chris unpacks the bible in great detail that is clear, easy to understand, and does not deviate from what is written. The worship team is small but effective. It consists of Jon, our worship leader and the worship team. Talented people sharing their love of God! I love this church and have never felt that way about another church. If you’re looking for a home church, you’ve found it!

Erin Lujan I am so thankful for this amazing group of believers. The multigenerational gathering feels like an authentic family where all are welcome and accepted. Outside of Sunday mornings, people get together in homes weekly to fellowship, study God’s word, and live on mission with one another where they live, go to school, work, or play. The location where we gather is conveniently located directly across from UC Davis fields on Russell. Other events throughout the year are picnics at the park, Easter pancake breakfast for the community, mission trip to an orphanage for disabled individuals in Mexico, and camping at Scott’s Flat Lake in the summer.

Joel d Great community of Jesus followers!

Dustin Walker Down to earth people who follow the Bible and nothing else.

Jonathan Wilkerson Really dedicated to the truth. The people there bend over backwards to help the college students and anyone else who need rides, etc. Tip: If you attend UCDavis, call the Davis Church of Christ and ask for a ride to the Sunday or the Thursday evening services. Youll make some great friends, and learn more than you may expect.

Daniel Panboon A welcoming church to Davis community and UC Davis students. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable about the Bible.

The Bookish Corner So comforting and welcoming.

Donna Fleming Its good

Sidney Huber For those who are conceptual threshold travelers -- meaning those eager to burst forth into transcendent new understanding in order to live maximally meaningfully, this churchs services are for you. In all of the many years that I have attended, without exception not once has any service failed to speak to and been deeply satisfying of my innermost deepest yearnings. So this exactly coincides with how I most want my life to be lived. And I love these services!

Racine Colburn A warm and welcoming church.

Maryam Nagy Very good

Rob Woodman Many people have heard of Quakers as historical figures much like Pilgrims. But there are Quakers right here in Davis. The Meeting has been here since the 1950s and is alive and growing with families with young children. Many Quakers are active with community organizations having to do with mental illness, immigration, peace and other civic affiars. Central to our Meeting is the traditional Quaker "silent" worship. We sit together in stillness until someone among us is moved to speak. The silence itself is full and enriching. We hardly ever give ourselves the opportunity to just sit and be without thinking. It is an acquired practice but once you get it youll want to stay with it.

Julie Johnson A welcoming atmosphere

Toni C Exter is a loving, compassionate pastor! His messages leave you feeling inspired to want to be better and follow Jesus through every trial and tribulation.

Greg M This is a great Church family and they are very kind. You will be welcomed, accepted and invited back. A perfect Church for a first visit because they are so nice and you will not be judged or put on the spot. Try a visit and see for yourself.

Mario Robinson Authentic...diverse...welcoming and with neatly trimmed trees and grass. A feel good place to be.

Kathy Unity Center of Davis is a virtual, inclusive, positive spiritual community which honors the many paths to God. It is a progressive ministry which looks at the universal truths in all religions and helps members learn how to apply these principles in their daily lives. Unity provides a new way of thinking about prayer and inner power, offers services, classes, workshops, book groups, and more, all online. For more than 15 years it is been the guiding, grounding, essential community in my life!

Marcia Ceccato A welcoming, loving spiritual community!

THERESA Kersten Open, inclusive and uplifting church.

Claudia Utts-Smith This gem of a church has so much to offer our community. The church services are inspiring, the childrens programs are creative, and the social action involvement of the congregation matches my liberal values. How fortunate to have such extensive beautiful grounds, plus a wide variety of interior spaces for worship, and for community events.

Karen Urbano My congregation! Uplifting and inclusive to all. Come and visit Sundays at 10:30 am

Scott Steward it feels like home. It seems like a long long way away from the social media-paced world. People of all ages are engaged and making good things happen.

Renay C To be honest, the nicest people you can find on the earth.

David Brewer Visited at time of UC Davis graduation. Just as expected.

Scott You can park here for free! Just run away from the annoying suits.

Matthew Chung Theyve done some renevations. Ive attended this church throughout my life. The community is very welcoming. 8AM mass has fewer attendees (typically), but still a large enough where the church does not feel empty.

Edgar Tamayo Love going to this church. Started attending mass here a few years back and I have always felt welcomed. Mass is engaging and makes you want to keep coming. I love how the campus is always clean and well maintained. Its also great that parking is always available. The church always has events going on during the week and sometimes right after the 12pm Sunday church. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Charlie L stepped into this church not just to worship—but to ask God to forgive what UC Davis has become. Please, Lord, forgive this campus that pretends to be elite, yet suffocates brilliance with red tape, politics, and performative excellence. Forgive the institution that markets prestige while ensuring the truly gifted—those who think differently, who question, who aim higher—are buried under group projects, lazy professors, and bloated admin egos. If you scored above a 1400 on the SAT, you don’t belong here. Not because you’re too arrogant—because UC Davis will never let you thrive. It rewards mediocrity dressed up in buzzwords and GPA padding. It’s a comfort zone for the average, a trap for the driven. Let this church be a place of truth, because the university just down the street has forgotten what truth looks like. May God bless Davis. And may He show mercy to those still fooled by the name “UC Davis.”

Hornsten Karen (KikiGrace) Primary love? I am Episcopalian...friendly congregation..lovely singing of Silent Night with candles...beautiful choir with bells...nice sermon. Whats not to love?

Cynthia Casteel Great place to become ordained and have a community dinner. Theres also different types of recovery groups all in alignment with a god based foundation.

Max A Awesome place, nice people, very awesome place to have events.

R L No church is perfect but it may be noted that when members want to leave DC3 for a different Christian church, there is no elitist, narcissist condemnation. Theres no sense that you have to follow the individuals serving as leaders in this church to be a good Christian but rather they encourage people to find a good fit even if its not this one.

Daniel Tai DCCC has biblically sound preaching/teaching among all three of its congregations (English, Mandarin, and Cantonese). One of the cool things about this church is that it aims to "equip and send" its members, whether those members are Davis residents/families or those who are more transient (e.g. college students, young adults, visiting scholars, etc). What drew me to DCCC in college was that it was a church with multiple generations (from grandparents to infants) and that it was one of the few churches that had a college fellowship (as opposed to a parachurch ministry) and a solid young adult fellowship.

joseph toan Awesome church! I grew up at Davis Chinese Christian Church and still go here; like any church its not perfect, but provides a good opportunity to be part of a family-like community.

Rob Woodman Ive been to concerts at this church. I go for the Vocal Art Ensemble. They are extraordinary. The blend off voices is superb and I am always moved by the musicality.

Will Frederickson Love this Church!

David m Mojica Excellent !!!!!

JenniTavas Im glad I do not believe in something that is not proven to be real. Until proven real by good facts until then Im good.

princesspop 101 Great place to be and attend

Jose Maldonado Everyone loves this church

Michael Ragone This has been my home for six years. It’s full of kind, thoughtful people who are eager to grow in pursuit of Jesus and are not afraid to ask difficult questions. Active service community and healthy small groups.

D Min I have been attending this church for 5yrs and I have really been blessed by the relationships I have had and the people I met. We dont have any family in the area but we have found an extended family that supports us in all seasons of life. This is a Christian church that believes in basic biblical principals and loves people. If you are undecided or contemplating going to church again, this is a good place to start. IF you have KIDS.. This is even better

Andy Zamora Upon seeing this churchs website and certain sermons, I noticed that it is a church that practices middle age mysticism and headed in the emergent church movement (a movement that places experience above Gods word and wants to get rid of Holy Writ from your hands). This is a big red flag. The book recommendations they give have to do with practicing middle age mysticism, this is the trash they promote. The pastor is a false teacher because he is teaching and promoting mysticism to the flock. This is a church that does not bow down to the authority of scripture. If you attend this church I would leave and if you are planning to, find another church that preaches from the bible.

Jon Whiteman Happy for new Pastor Christian Holleck AND the Davis Congregation. 7/27/2024

Mary Lowry Welcoming, inclusive and caring, worship-oriented, musical (choirs, handbells, guitars, traditional and alternative) social ministry and outreach, writing group, walking group, prayer chain, health ministry, Bible class, book club, Picnic Day barbecue for community!

DeVon Carter Very interesting to read everybodys comment and they should make them feel welcome, regardless of the color of our skin(same color of blood) and what saddens me, is people acts like that and we are suppose to set a good example for the Lord...........thats why I am glad that I go to Harvest Church in Elk Grove cuz we got multicultural, where we feel welcome there and feel right at home......check us out :-)

Gibby Even though it’s mainly a church for Koreans, there’s a lot of diversity which I like. Is like the tables turned lowkey.

Cayla Park Awana was really good there but its just the kids there are just rude not only that, they will ignore you. ( Except all my best friends and favorite teachers.) I felt like a ghost there . Whenever I said "hello" to someone theyll just walk away from me for no reason. Not to mention, I have been to this rock and water summer camp for water rafting. We were going on this hike on day 2. One of them was swimming to the other side. I was traumatized because while I was swimming with no life jacket on. I ran out of breath and I started drowning. But when I yelled for help, the other kids who were like right next to me just swam away from me Then, my troop leader pulled me out of the water and I grabbed onto my mothers life jacket and we both swam for safety. All of my best friends left because we all graduated from from Awana.Theres really no excitement anymore at this church after Awana. I do kind of feel guilty for leaving the church because I said I would become a leader but I dont want to be there anymore.
