Our congregation is organized, has a constitution and bylaws, and assures responsible handling of the spiritual, legal, and ethical aspects of our church life. We have a million dollar facility, a $100,000 annual budget which we support only by local giving.  We have 501(c)3 nonprofit status and are organized under California Corporate laws. Our policies are fair, legal, and moral, are set by our own leaders, and are upheld by our practices. We have been here in Eureka 114 years!

Committees take care of the business of the organization, but all members take a part in the Gospel Ministry of Jesus Christ, by word and deed. We pull together!
