KNOWING JESUS AND MAKING HIM KNOWN
SOL About Page Cover

Story

We are a Baptist church founded in 1992 by immigrants from Ukraine who joined forces and sought to establish a Ukrainian church in Sacramento. The church grew and needed a building, which was purchased in 2005. Like every church, SOL had its trials and tribulations. In 2010. the construction and renovation of the house of worship began, which has greatly united the church and today allows us to have a large number of projects and 5 ministries. We love people and serve them, so today SOL has more than 30 projects, aimed at all ages and needs of people. More than 20 missionaries from our church are scattered in different parts of the world, where they spread the word of God and help those who need our support, especially in Ukraine, where we are able to contribute to the the development of local churches. We serve families in Ukraine and help children. The heart of the of the church are our church members, who today number more than 1,000, each of whom is part of our a part of our big family. We value relationships, hospitality, and love between each other, and each week about 1500 people attend our church. The big God does his work through us, the little people. We don't know you yet, but we already love you, and we invite you to to become part of our big SOL family.

Statement of Faith

God

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

Revelation

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

The Fall

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ressurection

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
