We're Faith Lutheran Church, located on the corner E. 1st Ave. and Mangrove in Chico, California, the city of trees. A community reflecting God's love with a place at the table for everyone, we value connection-building, family ministry with families of all makeups and backgrounds, community service, music, and art. Whether you're here to worship with us or you're looking for a community center as a means to meet people or serve your neighbors, we'd love to meet you. Worship, service, groups, and Communion are for everyone.

Join us for worship on Sundays in person or online, pop into a group, or come to an event.

Our congregation believes in serving others. Every month, we host a donation drive which we invite all to participate in -- not just members of our church, but all those in Chico and Butte County who feel compelled to share. We give to a different, local organization each and every month.

FEBRUARY, 2026: CHICO STATE'S BLACK STUDENT UNION

CHICO STATE’S BLACK STUDENT UNION is a student run organization dedicated to the establishment of a constructive voice for African American students on the campus of the University and the city of Chico. The Black Student Union focuses on the educational and intellectual advancement of all students, while encouraging cultural awareness, leadership development, knowledge of current issues, and building a robust alliance with the University administration and other black student organizations on campus and in the community at large.

Why It Matters: Our congregation believes that one of the greatest gifts we can share is service to others. Each month, through our Greatest Gift Project, we come together to support a local organization and invite not only our church family, but our entire Chico and Butte County community to participate.

For the month of February, we are honored to partner with Chico State’s Black Student Union (BSU). This project will support BSU students by helping meet practical needs and offering encouragement as they pursue their education and leadership on campus. Your generosity makes a meaningful difference in the lives of local students and helps strengthen our community.

Thank you for sharing your compassion, generosity, and commitment to serving others.
