River City Calvary Chapel

iOS Universal

On October 1st 1990, by the grace of God, RiverCity Calvary Chapel officially became a church. Two months before this, Mike and Julie Butera were continuing to pray about starting a new work in the Sacramento area where they were born and raised. God confirmed His answer through several old acquaintances who actually stopped Mike on the street and asked him if he was going to teach a Bible study "anytime soon".

Encouraged by this, Mike and Julie began a Bible study in their home. Right from the start people who were being drawn to Christ began to come and were saved by their Lord. A need for discipleship grew as, weekly, people were asking Christ to be their Lord and Savior, inviting their friends until the living room would no longer hold the group.

About that time, Pastor Leo Giovinetti and Pastor Bob Henderson, both friends and Calvary Chapel pastors, encouraged Mike to start a church under their spiritual "umbrella." Thus RCCC was born.

Since that time, God has brought about a ministry where people are genuinely loved, spiritually fed and cared for. Through missions and support, RCCC is currently reaching out across the world in Russia, Mexico, Israel, Macedonia and Thailand. Through this ministry, God has elevated a discipleship program that has been translated into 3 languages and used on the mission field in several nations across the globe
