History PDF Print E-mail

We are a congregation that has been rooted in the community of Davis for over 125 years. At the same time, we're always seeking those new ways through which God continues to speak to the Church and to the world today

 

DCC is a congregation with a dual heritage. As the oldest Protestant congregation in Davis, we have "grown up" with the city and continue to see the whole city as our parish. You'll find members of our church in leadership positions throughout the community -- at the university, in business, in the helping professions -- seeking to bring healing and wholeness wherever people and families are hurting. We also have been a Presbyterian congregation since our founding in 1869, and are proud of the way our particular heritage invites people to approach the Christian faith both as a journey of the heart and the mind.

Care
DCC is a community that cares for one another.  Stephen Ministers are trained listeners who walk alongside others who may be experiencing a transition or a difficult time. Care Teams do everyday chores for people who have had surgery, illness or a short term emergency. You may like to be a caregiver or there may come a time in your life that you need a little care.  DCC cares.

 

Be the change
DCCers are active in many social justice issues.  They serve those who are marginalized in our community (via poverty or homelessness), care for the environment and promote peace and understanding in the larger community, the church and in the world. 

 

Learn & Grow
DCC is a Presbyterian congregation (PCUSA) with a strong belief that we never stop learning.  Learning forms and informs our faith, enriches our experience and enhances our understanding.  We offer a Christian Formation hour on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM (September – May).  Classes are offered for children, youth (Sunday School) and adults. The adult classes are led by pastors and others with expertise in a wide array of subjects.  Grab a cup of coffee and join a class. 

 

Join a Small Group
DCC is a large congregation made smaller and more personal through various small groups, such as Companions in Christ.  Watch for small group offerings that will help you get to know others and share in depth your experience of God.

 

Worship, of course!
Worship is the heart of the community.  In worship we sing, pray, listen and praise God together.  If you do only one thing at DCC, please join us for worship.  All are welcome. Be sure to introduce yourself and share with us your basic contact information so we can more personally invite your into the life of the church.

 

 

Contribute
DCC exists because of the generous contributions of the members and friends of the congregation who participate in a vision of DCC as a beacon of Christ’s light in the community and in the world.  Your contributions - time, talent and treasure - go toward a making that vision a reality.
