Connect and Serve

We believe in connecting with each other and serving our community is a vital part of our church. Join with us!

Sunday Worship

We meet every Sunday at 10:30 am both in person and online. Our worship is a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, and our music combines modern worship songs and traditional hymns. The Bible is preached in the context of its origins and of our lives right now, cultivating wisdom for us and our world today. We do our best to use inclusive language in our worship music, as well as in our communal prayers, congregational participation, and scripture readings. 

Youth Ministry

Once a month, youth from Elk Grove, Loomis, and Parkside UCCs and throughout the community come together for an all El Parkis Youth Ministry Event. We volunteer locally, embark on overnight service trips, play pickup sports games, make art, and throw top-notch BBQs. Throughout the rest of the month, youth programming happens at one church per week. Anyone can join- you don’t have to belong to a church or even be religious. All are welcome. And there are ALWAYS SNACKS.

  

Children's Ministry

We offer childcare and Sunday school for children from six months to sixth grade every Sunday morning. We use a curriculum called Illustrated Ministry for our Sunday School students, which emphasizes age-appropriate learning through a combination of story-telling, conversation, and art. We also hold events for children and families as often as possible throughout the year, including Easter Egg hunts, movie nights, kid's camp, Christmas caroling, etc.
