Our building is located on the corner of Hughson Avenue & 5th Street, in downtown Hughson.
In the early years of Sovereign Grace Community Church, God provided an existing doctor’s office that was remodeled to serve as a multi-purpose building for our growing congregation. Since that time the Lord has also allowed us to purchase and pay off two adjoining parcels that are for future parking and a future worship facility.

Our congregation has been faithfully giving and praying for the day when we can build a new building, and the time has finally come. Lord willing, construction will be complete by the end of 2023. The new building will be on the same property as the current structure.
Weddings
Sovereign Grace Community Church limits weddings on church property to members in good standing, who have gone through premarital counseling with the pastor or one of the elders, and have been approved by the Session.
Our conviction is that couples ought to marry in the church to which they are committed. From that church they are most likely to receive premarital pastoral counsel and oversight. Once married, it is from that church that they are most likely to continue to receive oversight, support and care. We believe that we are only able to give proper care and attention to those couples who will continue as members of our church. Our advice to those who are not members of our church is to marry where they plan to become members, and receive from there the support and care that they need.
Marriage is a big decision. Marriage commitments are trivialized by the ease with which divorces take place in our day. Our goal is to make marital collapse and dissolution less likely by ensuring that couples marrying get the pastoral care they need before and after they marry. Our way of doing so is to encourage couples to marry in the church in which they belong, and that they be married by their own pastors.
