History
of the Church
Sonshine
Christian Church was established on Sunday, October
17, 1999 holding its first worship service at Sunshine
Childcare and Learning Center in Valencia, Ca. Founded
on the belief that the Church must be a proactive
member of the community, Sonshine set out to do
the work".
Since
that time to the present we have affiliated, partnered,
volunteered and/or given our financial support to:
the Santa Clarita Homeless Shelter, the Santa Clarita
Food Panty, the Senior Center of Santa Clarita, the
Northpark Christian Academy, and The Single Mothers
Outreach Program of Valencia. All this without a home!

On Easter Sunday, Sonshine moved into its
first and present home on 14th Street in Newhall.
An ethnically diverse neighborhood, Sonshine's new
home primarily consisted of Anglo and Latino heritages.
Sonshine saw the opportunity to unite these two groups
by offering both ESL (English as a second language)
and Conversational Spanish (for the English speaking).
Both groups were then invited to a joint session to
practice what theyve learned! To be of service
to one another breeds friendship.
