Leviticus 26:9-10 NLT

“I will look favorably upon you, making you fertile and multiplying your people. And I will fulfill my covenant with you. You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!”

Since stepping into their roles as Senior Pastors of Real Life Church in 2017, Pastor Dean and Amy Deguara have faithfully led the church into a season of remarkable health and growth. By God’s grace, the church has expanded from roughly 400 people to more than 1,500 in weekly attendance across four Sunday services. Today, Real Life Church is recognized as one of the most diverse and fastest-growing congregations in Natomas and the Greater Sacramento region.

Last year, God miraculously provided the money and opportunity for Real Life Church to purchase the former Gold’s Gym at 1900 Del Paso Road. In just one year, we have completed our design process, submitted our plans to the City of Sacramento for permitting, and anticipate beginning construction soon—transforming this building into a house of worship and ministry that will serve our community for generations.

To date, we have raised $630,000 toward the $1.2 million pledged, with a total goal of $2.5 million to fund phase one of the renovation costs. This investment will establish Real Life Church as a lasting presence and witness for Jesus Christ in North Sacramento and the Natomas community—creating room for countless lives to be transformed by His love.
