We are a simple, Christ-centered house church, currently operating online with a long-term mission to establish a physical church campus in California Valley. The land for this future campus has already been plotted by our church founder and overseer, Sami Ahmed.
We preach with sincerity and clarity, promoting the well-being of our members and all those around us in alignment with God’s commandments. Our goal is to help each person fulfill their divine purpose and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding—so that everyone can come to know the enduring love of Jesus Christ and God the Father.
We are a 508(c)(1)(a) church—unincorporated and operating under the First Amendment’s protections of religious freedom. For a suggested donation, we can provide you with our founding packet so you can begin your own church in your own way. Together, we can help spark a new Great Awakening across America through thousands of smaller, Spirit-led churches, each expressing their unique calling in the Body of Christ.
Our founder and church overseer, Sami Ahmed, has a powerful personal testimony. Despite difficult circumstances, he has continuously grown in faith while building a new and more hopeful life. After a near-death experience in 2016, in which he was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, Sami dedicated his life fully to God. Once a worldly person who believed himself intelligent, he emerged from that experience renewed—committed to rebuilding his life in God’s presence and for His glory. Despite living with physical disabilities, Sami has remained steadfast in his calling. His journey is a testament to God‘s ability to bring strength through weakness, and purpose through pain—transforming limitations into a powerful ministry.
At the Fellowship of Jesus Christ in California Valley, we believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. It is the foundation of our faith, our guide for life, and the unifying truth that points us to salvation through Jesus Christ.
We are a non-denominational church that welcomes all sincere believers in Christ — whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant. We do not seek to replay old religious divisions or engage in endless debates over doctrine. Instead, we affirm the core truth that unites us:
“Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” – Philippians 2:11
We believe:
The Bible is God-breathed and trustworthy.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer.
The Holy Spirit empowers us to live godly lives.
Salvation is a gift of grace through faith in Christ.
We reject the spirit of division, gatekeeping, and purity testing that too often distracts believers from loving one another and walking in truth. We are here to build people up — not tear them down.
If you love the Lord and desire to grow in faith, you are welcome here. This is a church for the whole Body of Christ — not just a piece of it.
