Capital Christian Center

It’s the best thing to be at Capital every Sunday to worship our God Jesus Christ. may God bless the church and Pastor to give us the word of our amazing God.

Lukewarm church pastor Rick is afraid to preach the truth he’s afraid to hurt somebody’s feelings.

Loving this place thus far! Great Pastor! The singing Christmas Tree was awesome. Love joining the small groups!

Absolutely amazing service! I’d been searching for a Church for a few months now since relocating to Sacramento. It’s been a challenging few months and I give all thanks to God for solidifying my relationship with him. Joel Osteen & Lakewood ministries have provided valuable insight during these challenges… «Turning stumbling blocks into steppingstones» & «II Samuel 22 Staying Armed with Strength» as I stay in faith on my journey! Capital Christian Center was a recommended church by Lakewood ministries.
I’ve never gone to church alone I was either taken by my parents as a child or invited. This is a new start for me so I went alone. Pastor Doug delivered a powerful message today, about offering a sacrifice of praise to God. Seems simple enough but it’s interesting how often we can forget to thank God for our blessings! Fruits of praise from our lips! Everyone was extremely polite and welcoming. I’m excited about going back next week!
I’ve found my Church! God is so Good! Can I get an Amen! Peace & Blessings… Have an Amazing day! Oh and if you’re looking for a church… this is the place to be.

Capital Christian saved my life and my family life. After going through a couple of losses and not appropriately handling them, I found myself drowning in misery. I followed my wife to church and hand it to the man upstairs for helping get through the toughest time in my life. Within 5 months I’ve gone from walking with the devil to standing by god on this amazing journey called life. A huge thank you to pastor Rick for keeping it real and translating the word for me to feel it and live it every single day! I’m back on top with my business and family life and can’t wait to be more apart of Capital Christian and what they have to offer. If you’re thinking about going, don’t think just go!

Great church organization with a plethora of groups you can join, including the little ones.

After two years I am struggling to feel connected. Tried to reach out to the pastor but he was unresponsive. Good people, but I’m assessing whether or not this is the church for me.

Came here for the Singing Xmas Tree… One of my favorite programs! I haven’t seen it for 10 years and finally made it back. I took 3 friends who had never seen the show and they just loved it! I spent the extra $$ and sat upfront and it was totally worth it. The music, props/​decorations and costumes were all AMAZING! It’s remarkable that this whole thing is run by volunteers. The cast is huge. This a Sacramento must do for all families!

This is NOT a non-​denominational church. The fact that it’s being marketed this way to the public is deceitful. Capital Christian is a megachurch that is affiliated with the World Assemblies of God Fellowship. This group forms the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination. If you don’t believe me, you can google Megachurches affiliated with the Assemblies of God and an article will come up. I do not like the fact that I was invited to this church under false pretenses. If you believe in God but aren’t extremely religious (i.e You go to church every Sunday and have an active role within your church), then you will inevitably have difficulty fitting in. Capital Christian is very reminiscent of a cult. People recruit you to join under false pretenses, the services are fanatical in nature (Imagine 20 excruciating minutes of people singing and crying about how much they love God.), grown men and women are baptized during services (very born again Christian), etc. This is a good place for gullible people, fanatics, etc. They all seem to congregate here. CCC definitely attracts a certain type of crowd. This crowd mostly consists of people who fail to practice what they preach and simply use religion to appear superior to others. If you’re not absolutely obsessed with God, the bible, religion, etc. then CCC isn’t the place for you.

This is basically a non-​denomination church. We are not members of this church, but when we want to go to a church, this is the church we go to. What pulls us to this church is:
1) The sermons.
Pastor Rick is pretty much the main guy, and his sermons will not make you go to sleep! We heard other pastors before, and all of them are just as good as Pastor Rick. They pull you in, giving realistic life situation instead of just plain preaching. I like the way they have a monthly/​series of ‘tasks’ you can achieve, such as fasting not only food, but it can be fasting for electronics, fasting spending (this month’s sermons).
2) The 3 different styles of service
They have the traditional (dressed your Sunday best), and 2 casuals. The traditional one is more sombre, while the casual ones have teenagers or the singers dancing on stage.
3) The congregation
They are all friendly, yet give you your space at the same time. We feel very welcomed here.
4) Activities
The church has a lot of activities, such as christian groups, perform for free at their church, or performance by the kids in their school.

Great place — great folks pastor and music! Just started going to church late in life — playing catch up :)

I love getting fed the word of the Lord here! I once was lost but when I heard Pastor Rick speak I was found.

For years now, every Sunday morning I have attended this church, I have left wholly refreshed in mind and spirit with the undeniable feeling that I wad MEANT to be there that day. I have taken family members, friends, and boyfriends there who have all felt the same. I enjoy Pastor Rick very much and am happy he is still there. I always look forward to Sunday mornings at Capital Christian, no matter how tired I am. There are many different services, ministries, and outreach programs too – as well as counseling, I just found out. If you are looking for a church home, or just something different, don’t be shy and don’t fight that feeling! This awesome church will have you feeling awesome too. :)

I’m not a spiritual person but my coworker gifted us recently with CCC’s premarital counseling program. We were blessed to have two wonderful premarital counseling mentors whom we really truly connect with! Very wonderful people!
I would definitely recommend CCC for their premarital counseling program.

I hate voting in churches. It should NOT BE allowed.

Awesome church!
Awesome people!
Awesome pastor!
CCC represents the best of Sacramento Christians!

Capital Christian Center has a young adult ministry that meets Thursday nights called Epic Life that is the best church family I have ever known. I have made many great, genuine friends through this group. They do tons of fun events. The sermons are packed full of inspiring, challenging, and encouraging words. The worship is awesome. I think the thing I love best about this church and group is that they don’t only teach you how to be come a stronger person in you identity as a son or daughter of God, but they have amazing leaders that set that example. If you are looking for a loving community/​family of fellow believers we welcome you with open arms.

Where do I begin? I LOVE Capital Christian Center. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years.
The true turning point for me was when Pastor Rick became head Pastor… he is SO awesome! Rick is so down to earth and REAL. God’s word is delivered in a way I’ve never heard before and I get it!
This is not your typical preachy-​preachy Church. Rick shares with us in a way that makes us feel «just like him… real»
We attend the 11:15 Sunday Service and it is OFF THE HOOK for worshiping!!! Come as you are and that means jeans, t-​shirts, flip-​flops… all are welcomed here! It’s all about relaxing and getting filled up with Jesus!
And the school… OMGosh!!! Our daughter has attended school here since the age of two (preschool) and now she is about to finish up second grade. There is NOT a better, more caring school in the entire State of California. Debbie Krug heads the preschool along with Shelly Gonzales and whew… these ladies make an awesome team and truly care for your children.
Come, you’ll love it, you’ll be changed!

Hannah’s review is spot on — great church in a great city!

With this being the biggest church in the Sacramento area, I’m actually surprised that there’s no reviews for it yet. I love it at Capital Christian Center. My mom and I would agree that this is the first church that we actually feel comfortable in. There are 3 Sunday Services: traditional at 8 am (hymns, formal suit and tie, organs), classic at 9:30 am (choir, orchestra), and casual at 11:15 am (regular clothing, rock band).
They also have their own Java City café were you can get coffee or drinks before the service. There is also a bookstore that sells CDs of some of your favorite Christian artists, books, Bibles, and stuff you’d normally see in a typical Christian bookstore. Capital has an elementary, middle, high school, and a college.
Pastor Rick Cole is amazing, and his sermons are very powerful and they make you think, but at the same time, relate to anyone attending the service. He knows how to be serious and thought-​provoking but at the same time lighthearted and funny. I also love how he is never judgmental and he welcomes and opens his arms to anyone who attends. That’s really good because who wants to have an extreme, narrow-​minded, hate-​spewing pastor?
Some may argue that Capital too huge of a church to have any sense of community. That’s what I felt at first too, but they have so many small groups to tailor your needs and help you find your niche in the church. Women’s and men’s groups, singles, married, Oxygen (high school youth group), 678 (middle school)… I go to Identic, Capital’s service group for college students every Thursday 7 pm. It’s awesome meeting people my age group and having fellowship with them, and hearing powerful messages about God and listening to awesome music by Doug Reid Band (who also plays at the casual service on Sunday mornings).
All in all, I’d say this is the best church I have ever been to.
