Sonoma Valley Community Church

About this church

Sonoma Valley Community Church meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 181 Chase Street, with the gathering usually lasting about an hour. The congregation explicitly describes the atmosphere as relaxed and casual—closer to the clothing someone might wear to a movie or a concert in the park. Weekly worship can also be viewed online. Its theological roots are Reformed: the church began as Grace Reformed Church and retains a historical connection to the Reformed Church in America, while presenting itself locally as a community shaped by the transforming grace of Jesus.

The congregation’s first gathering was held June 10, 1945, at the Sonoma-Vista Improvement Club House; it moved to the present property later that year, initially worshiping outdoors before the Chase Street building was constructed. That local history continues in outward-facing service. The church has hosted blood drives with Vitalant and promotes seasonal projects such as children’s shoebox ministry, along with community Christmas gatherings. Leadership is shared among a pastor, elders, and deacons nominated and approved by members. This is a relevant option for visitors seeking a small Sonoma congregation with a single casual service, online access, Reformed roots, and a long-standing connection to the valley.
