The Pacific Union College Church (PUC Church) is the campus church of Pacific Union College in Angwin, Napa Valley, California. It is a part of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church. ==Congregation== The congregation traces its roots to 1909, when the church had their first meeting in a former dance hall shortly after Pacific Union College's move to Angwin from Healdsburg. It records having 42 charter members at that time.〔 In 1919, the congregation met in the chapel of the new college building and by 1921 had 290 members. Until 1947, the pastor was the head of the college's religion department. The congregation moved into its own new building in 1968. Like most churches of the time, its practices were traditional in form with weekly performances by its church choir. By 1984, the church plant was worth an estimated $7.7 million due to inflation, it had cost less than a third of that amount to construct in 1968. When Healdsburg College, now PUC, was first established, the College operated all levels of the educational experience. However, starting in 1901, the College Church took over the financial responsibility for the elementary school.〔 They raised a church-school fund. All the children of the church were free to attend the school.〔 In 2000, PUC Church was noted for being the only church in the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists to have a female pastor. Pastors from the church have been featured at various events hosted by Adventist Churches. The church is active in philanthropy. In 2010 the church raised over $25,000 to aid in relief efforts after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The church has 1,800 members, not including the 1,500 students attending Pacific Union College. Theologian Desmond Ford continued to hold membership at the church after being defrocked. Many years later, in 2001, he voluntarily requested to have his name dropped from membership for reasons which seem to be unrelated to his defrocking.
