The Birth of West Sacramento Community Church
In 2004 Melvin Ross and Maria Ross began praying about selling their two-story and purchasing a single
story home. For many months they prayed and searched to find the home that God had for them.
Their search took them to various locations within the Sacramento area which included; Lincoln,
Rocklin, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Plumas Lake and lastly West Sacramento.
Finally, God answered their prayer. In August 2005, they purchased a single story home in West Sacramento,
CA. This was just the beginning of God’s divine plan for their lives in that community. In October 2006 they
were called to join God in planting a new church. During that time God had not revealed many details.
Therefore the Ross’ and others began to pray for guidance and answers. God did answer. With God’s
direction and a call to action plans were set in motion.
Through God’s guidance, obedience in response to the call and faith, the West Sacramento Community
Church located in West Sacramento, California was born on January 28, 2007.
The West Sacramento Community Church is a place where all people from all walks of life can find hope for
the hopeless, love for the unloved, peace for the restless, comfort for the comfortless, healing for the
hurting, joy for the joyless, encouragement for the discouraged, non-regular attendees’ and others who
desire to live victoriously under God’s guidance.
