Welcome to Elk Grove Presbyterian Church!
We are a small, dedicated community of down to earth people who gather together once a week to explore important faith based questions, experience community, and find ways to serve those in need.
If you are seeking a supportive, loving community to walk alongside you on your faith journey, you will find it here. We recognize and affirm everyone regardless of race, class, gender or sexual orientation. There is a hidden potential within you yet to be discovered.
Worship
Every Sunday at 10:15am we come together for worship, music and fellowship. All are welcome!

Lenten Blessings
It is hard to believe we are now in the season of Lent. By the time you read this letter, Easter will be less than 40 days away. This time leading up to Easter is a special time: a holy time. It is a time to prayerfully look inward and seek the truth about what needs to change, what needs to be forgotten, or what needs to be embraced so we can continue forward in the quest for spiritual maturity. This quest for spiritual maturity requires intentional time of quiet and introspection, a time to put aside earthly desires and turn our hearts to Jerusalem to discover God’s desires.

Thank you to those who have already paid their 2020 Per Capita. For those that have not, your Per Capita for 2020 is $36.00 per member, not household. Per Capita is a set amount of money per member that congregations pay to the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). It is a Presbyterian Covenant Community Fund — part of the glue that holds Presbyterians together. Because every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC(USA)’s system of government, the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system should be shared by everyone as well.
Events
While we are “sheltering in place” in the days ahead, we still have the opportunity to gather online for worship at 10:15 a.m. on Sundays!
We invite you to join us via Facebook Live for our Sunday worship services. Invite friends and family to join in this online worship experience by directing them to our Facebook page.

If 10:15 am does not work for you, the service will be available for viewing throughout the week on our Facebook page.
This year’s Advent season will be like none before. As the year began, there were high hopes of 2020 being a year when visions and plans would be fulfilled, but as the year progressed many of these hopes were dashed as so many found themselves simply trying to survive each day. Perhaps, the most disappointing part of 2020 was watching as people began losing hope and turning to despair as they came to grips with the fact that, as humans, we can’t control or manage everything in life. Matthew’s gospel speaks of Jesus as Emmanuel, which means “God with us.” This name does not speak of the future, but of the present.
In spite of our present difficulties, we have Emmanuel. Our hope is not based on external situations, but eternal promises. This Advent season can be the best ever if you dare to embrace the hope of Jesus right now, knowing that God’s grace and love are present to carry you through the most challenging times in your life.
