Pastor Al Soto
Hello, my name is Al Soto and I am the Sacramento Area Pastor for our Western District. I serve in the Northern California Region of the Western District under the leadership of a great Regional Pastor, Brian Goodell. I have been assigned the awesome assignment of caring and creating a culture of health with our Area Pastors.
Our Foursquare President, Rev. Randy Remington has laid out three priorities that we are desiring to Missionally focused on …. We are committed to the Mission of Pursuing the Presence of God, Passing the Flame (to another generation(s), and Possessing the Land as we together BRING THE KINGDOM!
Within the Sacramento Area we have an incredible diversity of leaders and pastors who are leading some dynamic expressions of local church community. As a Cadre of Pastors, we are contending for the multiplication of churches and ministries as we partner with other Churches and agencies in seeing the expansion of the kingdom of God!
Our Area is also rich with Law Enforcement and Hospital Chaplaincy who are also equipped in Trauma Care and Response.
We are committed to reaching and serving the greater Sacramento Area in the name of Jesus Christ who is our Savior … Who is our Baptizer in the Holy Spirit … Who is our Healer …. and who is our Soon Coming King!
If there is any way that I can serve you, please call me or contact one of our Pastors.

Don & Christa Proctor Directors
We are real friends who pastor the city together week in and week out. We actually know each other and support each other. CPF is not about what happens at the quarterly luncheons. It’s always been about what happens in between
— one on one and side by side.
In 2008, three local pastors from different churches thought it would be very good to build off of what others had worked toward, in various ways, for many years. Each of these pastors had about 5-6 really good lead pastor friends whom they invited (along with many other lead pastors they didn’t yet know) to break bread together. About 20 lead pastors showed up at the first quarterly luncheon to do nothing more than break bread together, become better acquainted, and spend a few minutes praying for one another in very small groups.
Gradually, the friendships have not only grown deeper, but also much wider.
The spiritual climate is one of celebration for one another, not competition. New lead pastors are welcomed into the region with open arms and tangible expressions of support from established churches and ministries.
We are one church with many life-giving congregations. CityPastors.net

Since 2002, Decision Point has equipped Christian students as teen evangelists to reach their peers and classmates for Christ. For over 20 years we have seen young people give their lives to Christ through on-campus, student-led outreach events. The best part? These students now have the confidence to be evangelists for years to come. We've seen lives changed and campuses transformed as this movement reaches students at high schools and middle schools, in big cities and small towns, across the nation and around the world.
Who is Decision Point? It could be you. Students are leading the way! Churches, staff, Christian adults, parents, and teachers also play a huge role! Adults who want to see a remnant of young leaders witness for Christ come alongside to pray, support, equip and financially send students into the mission field. DecisionPoint.org
