River City Calvary Chapel started as a small home Bible study in 1990. At that time, Pastor Mike Butera felt a strong leading from the Lord to establish a church in Sacramento that would focus on teaching God’s Word with clarity and conviction. What began in a humble setting—a rented room in a local bowling alley—was the first step in what would become a growing community of believers.
Today, more than ever, we remain dedicated to building a Christ-centered family rooted in biblical truth and genuine love. In a world clouded by confusion and brokenness, we are dedicated to teaching the truth of God’s Word, shared in love, bringing hope and transformation. As we look to the future, our desire is to stay grounded in unity, compassion, and a deep commitment to living out the gospel together.
