Salida Congregational Church has a rich heritage within the Salida community. Founded in 1910 , SCC has always been focused on bringing spiritual growth and understanding to the area's residents.
Located in the heart of Salida, we have provided a gathering spot for church members and local residents alike. In addition to church activities, civic and school groups have also benefitted from the centralized church facilities. Through the years, our church and its members have been spiritedly involved in many community organizations and activities. There exists a vibrant and solid history of outreach and civic pride to the betterment of the Salida community. |

Pastor James grew up in Southern California, the elder son of a Southern Baptist minister, so the church has always been a strong part of James' life.
It is funny how life has its twists and turns. While studying at California State University of Long Beach to obtain his history degree with the goal of becoming a high school teacher, a friend requested he take the exam to become a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff, which ultimately turned into a thirty-one year career in law enforcement. Pastor James obtained his MDIV degree from Talbot Theological Seminary. |
