1. How did Adventure Christian Church begin?
God led Rick & Amy Stedman to start Adventure Church on Easter of 1994. The church began with two families that Rick met before he moved to the area. Today, a few thousand people attend one of three weekend services in the church's facility on Stanford Ranch Road in Roseville. It has been a wild ride for Adventure Church over the past few years. No one expected how many people God would love through Adventure Christian Church.
Adventure communicates God's message through creative teaching and worship. During the weekend services, you will meet friendly people who love God, hear Bible-based, challenging messages from Rick, and enjoy an upbeat, contemporary style of worship. There is something for everyone at Adventure.
Many people attend Adventure Church, but the church's mission has never changed. We let God love us, and love others through us... one person at a time.

2. What are the weekend services like?
We do our best to make sure that everyone who comes to Adventure is made to feel at home. From the time you walk through the front door, you will find people just like you who love God. We invite you to enjoy a cup of coffee or espresso drink in Common Grounds, the church coffee shop.  If you are ready to join us for service, allow our hospitality team to direct you into the auditorium for the service.
Our worship team will begin the service with contemporary music that sets the tone for each message. Rick Stedman will talk about relevant issues and what the Bible says about them. We believe it is God's Word that changes lives and not our words about God's Word!
Saturday evening service begins at 6:00 pm and Sunday morning services begin at 9:00 am and 11:00 am.  To hear one of Rick's messages, check out our Adventure "Audio Sermons" page on this website.
