We are Project Church, a place for people in progress. We are all
broken people trying to become more like Jesus. And that’s the
whole point of why Project Church exists… “It’s all about
Jesus.” 

In the Bible, Jesus commands us to make disciples (Matthew 28:19)
and love people (Matthew 22:37, 38). In a nutshell, our vision &
mission are to do what Jesus commands us to do: make
disciples, love people and plant churches. We believe
that through starting more churches, we can effectively make
disciples and love communities of people well!

The Sacramento History Museum is a reproduction of the 1854 City
Hall and Waterworks building, which sat on our current
site.  The original building was completed in the spring of
1854 and was the city’s first municipal structure.  It
housed the City Waterworks, City Offices – including the Mayor’s
office and Fire Department – the City Jail, and Police Court.

The dramatic and diverse history of Sacramento unfolds in the
museum’s galleries.

HISTORY AND PRACTICES

Top Hand Ranch was founded by Rick and Henry Newborn and was
established in the early 1970’s–becoming one of the first of its
kind to provide quality carriage rides in the Old Sacramento of
modern times; since then Rick and Dianne Newborn (Henry has since
retired) have been dedicated to giving their customers the best
possible experience when touring the Sacramento area. Your
satisfaction is important to them and as such you will get your
choice of color for both horse and carriage whenever possible.
Inquire for possible options!
