The Northern California Association of Churches had its beginnings in 1905 when a small group of believers began meeting in Lodi, CA and planted a church. By 1973 there were five NORCAL churches whose pastors were meeting regularly and praying diligently. They determined that they were called to plant churches in the region. They took the vision for this challenge and their commitment to the cause back to their congregations and raised over $250,000 for planting churches. This was the beginning of a new season for NORCAL churches. Working together, reaching beyond their own congregations, taking risks to see the Kingdom Mission accomplished. Today NORCAL'S 37 congregations are actively involved in 8 new church plants in Northern CA.
