Our free medical clinic is available to anyone with no health insurance or who cannot afford treatment. If you have insurance, please use it so that this free clinic can be for people who have no other access to a doctor.
Emergency medical services are not available at our clinic.
Are you worried a lingering sore throat might be strep throat? Are you diabetic and need help getting your blood sugar under control? Are you worried about cholesterol? Do you need a prescription refill to take to the pharmacy? Our medical staff will see patients 5 years old and up, and can help you with these types of basic medical care.
Quality medical care is provided for people who need it. Friendly volunteers will greet you and help with the medical history form. All of our clinic staff maintain the strictest standards for keeping medical records confidential between you and the doctor that will treat you. Spanish translation is also available when necessary.
Patients with appointments are seen beginning at 1:00pm. Walk-in patients may register beginning at 3:30pm. All patients visiting the clinic for the first time are seen as walk-in patients. The number of walk-in patients that will be accepted depends on the number of medical providers staffing the clinic. We provide information about other medical resources available in the community when we cannot accommodate a patient.
Natomas Crossroads Clinic is partially funded by the generosity of the Kaiser Permanente Community Grants Benefit Program of Northern California Region-Sacramento Valley Area. We also have received partial funding from Catholic Healthcare West in Sacramento. We are also grateful for the support of Natomas Rotary.
If you have any questions about the clinic you can reach one of our staff by calling 916-514-6163 or sending an email message to nccfree(a)gmail.com. The staff can provide detailed information about the type of care provided at the clinic.

God is passionate about answering our petitions. He finds great joy is exceeding our expectations. He wants to “…do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…” [Ephesians 3:20]. Join us as we learn to pray according to The Holy Spirit’s power that is at work within us. Experience the wonder of Christ Jesus working in and through us as a church. [Ephesians 3:20]
We gather informally at 7pm to pray together. All are welcome to join our circle and either silently affirm what others are praying, or to lift your voice with us bring as we bring all our petitions before God. It isn’t about how well we pray but that we make the committment to pursue God. Join us at 7pm.

“If God doesn’t want something for me, I shouldn’t want it either. Spending time in meditative prayer, getting to know God, helps align my desires with God’s.” – Philip Yancey
In our church community we have recognized that many times we do not know exactly what we should do or exactly how we should respond to what life throws at us. Yet the more we practice prayer individually and as a group, the more we see good traits developing in our lives: accepting ourselves, accepting others, peace in the midst of uncertainty, and strength to continue. We also have been blessed with more and more answers to prayer that bring us joy and cause for celebration.
Join us this Friday evening as we open our doors for prayer. Beginning at 7 pm we will join together to pray for one another, thanking God for what He is doing in our lives, celebrating the joys He gives to us, and lamenting our pains in His presence. Come join us as we change through the power of prayer.

“Superficiality is the curse of our age.” – Richard Foster
Crossroads exists for all of you. We deeply value creating space that allows for authenticity, for the real you to be embraced, welcomed and brought into the presence of God.
We welcome you, the real you, to join us this Friday at 7 pm as we open our doors for prayer. In prayer we learn to allow God and others to see us as we really are. We receive permission to live authentically and openly as we join with others in a conversation with God.

“It has been one of my deepest longings and my deepest joys to pray regularly with others who are also seeking God. Such prayer in community is profoundly life changing and worth any price one has to pay to find it!” – Ruth Haley Barton
We wish to be a community marked by movement in our lives. We want our souls to experience growth, expansion and development. And we have learned that this has driven us to prayer. Ruth Haley Barton’s words are beginning to ring true: To pray together is to change.
Join us this Friday evening as we open our doors for prayer. Beginning at 7 pm we will join together to pray for one another, thanking God for what He is doing in our lives, celebrating the joys He gives to us, and lamenting our pains in His presence.
