California Avenue Church of Christ is part of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family of churches in The American Church Story. 564 congregations of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family gather across California — 9,607 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Stone-Campbell churches asked American Christians to put down their party names and be simply Christians, and they meant it enough to give up their own. Their plea for one table, and their weekly return to it, is one of the few genuinely American gifts to the church's understanding of itself.

The community around California Avenue Church of Christ
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
