St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church & School serves as a community space for spiritual and educational guidance. Its ministries include music, youth and adult. The School enrolls children from pre-k to eighth grade.
The vibrant Assembly of God prides itself on a friendly, welcoming, fresh worship experience and a relevant message. The church, located just off of Interstate 94, began in South Milwaukee in the 1930s before moving to Oak Creek in 1970. It has expanded several times and will get even bigger with an addition to the west, scheduled to be completed in 2011.
Northern California Bible College was founded in 1971 to provide biblical education to undergraduate students. The college moved to Pleasanton in 1987 from San Jose, where it still maintains a satellite campus. The offices are located in the business center at the corner of Stoneridge Dr. and Santa Rita Rd. It began offering online and mail-correspondence courses in 1999, and is now aimed primarily at distance learners. Students can earn an Associate of Arts (AA) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Biblical studies. A one-year Certificate Program is also available. Students in the "Reason to Believe" Christian ministry can receive college credit for that program through this college.
