Our Story

In 2004 the Assemblies of God approached our Founding Pastors (Pastor Darryl & Trina Sandford) and asked if they could make a difference in Downtown Sacramento. There was an old vacant building on 15th and C st in Downtown Sacramento that needed a lot of work. They took the challenge and began the Dream Center, emulating the Los Angeles Dream Center and its multi-ministry approach of meeting the needs of the community. With YWAM (Youth With a Mission), church planting and business experience they began the work with the help of 35 students from Capital Bible College, bunch of bikers and a team from Radical Reality. Our first day began with barbequed steak outreach and a whole lot of love. It was a great success and today we have numerous agencies, ministries, businesses and corporations helping in one of the neediest communities in Sacramento.

In 2019, our current Pastors (Pastor Alex & Bithiah Williams) received the baton and blessing from our founding Pastors to move the ministry forward. Having served at the Dream Center for sometime our current pastors feel a renewed vision to bring light and love into the inner-city through continued ministry efforts, outreaches, collaboration and social-work.
