This year marks a monumental milestone for CCCC’s community partner, St. Andrews AME Church of Sacramento. Turnings 175 years old! Founded in 1850 during the Gold Rush era, it is the oldest historically Black church Oldest African American Congregation on the Pacific Coast.

For nearly two centuries, St. Andrews has been a beacon of hope, spiritual growth, and community service, welcoming all regardless of faith and reaching out to those who are unhoused, underserved in healthcare, or seeking safety.

Here’s to honoring this incredible legacy and looking forward to many more years in our community! 🙌Tammie Denyse
