About Us

The House of God

We are a welcoming church in Sonoma, CA. We strive to find, honor and acknowledge the need of God in our lives and give Him full control. We model our lives to be like Jesus, who not only shows us the way but is The Way. Through His life, sacrifice and wisdom we surrender to Him and find rest for our souls.

We exist to WORSHIP God, and lift up His holy name.

To GROW in grace and the knowledge of Him.

To CONNECT with each other and the community of Sonoma, and

To SERVE one another in love.

Our Philosophy

We believe in gathering to find ‘sanctuary’ from the world, and find peace in our souls. All are welcome to seek God and celebrate life in the full.

Our Story

Sonoma Valley Church is part of The Church of the Nazarene larger denomination which is evangelical Christian. We have been a ministry to the Sonoma region since 1942. Our denomination emerged from the 19th-century Holiness movement in North America with a focus on reaching the poor and needy. With its members commonly referred to as Nazarenes, it is the largest Wesleyan-holiness denomination in the world.

Meet the Pastor

Shepherding those who are seeking peace and hope through our Highest Power, God, Pastor Elaine Briefman is here to help you regardless of where you come from and what you have journeyed through. As an ordained elder and licensed marriage and family therapist, Pastor Elaine endeavors to help each person find God, find peace with God, and stay right with God. Come join us and the family of the Sonoma Valley Church Community.

Church…

Church is a place, and also a people. Although we meet in a building for various gatherings, God’s people can also be found throughout the community of Sonoma and beyond. God’s kingdom is made up of people who work together towards the well-being of the entire community, where everyone is considered a joint heir of the promises of God.
