Holy Resurrection Romanian Orthodox Church was founded out of necessity in June 2002, initiated by the faithful Ioan and Ana Roșca, Dumitru and Elena Ciulei, Ioan and Florica Roșca, Dan and Mioara Roșca, Petru and Mariana Sîrb, Lucian and Vicky Cojocaru, Augustin and Mihaela Lazăr, Francisc Iosif, Corvin Polhac, Valer Gherman, Ionuț and Gabi Lăzureanu, Emilia Grecu, Regina Mitulescu, and over 100 other Orthodox Christians. Religious services began on Sunday, November 17, 2002, in a rented space. A loan was obtained from the Bucurenciu family, and a plot of land on Alder Ave was purchased. Shortly thereafter, builders constructed a beautiful hall with an interior area of 2300 sq. ft. Due to the community's modest financial resources and the high construction taxes for commercial properties, the hall was initially registered with agricultural status, to obtain commercial status later. However, this was not possible due to continuously rising construction taxes and the additional investments required for a commercial project. Nonetheless, Sunday services took place in the newly built hall until 2009. Due to the impossibility of continuing services there, the general assembly decided to sell the property and continue services in a rented church. From 2009 until 2018, Sunday services took place at the Melkite Greek Catholic Church located at 1620 Bell St., Sacramento, CA. In 2011, with God's blessing, the parish purchased a residential property at 3250 U St., Antelope, CA. The building at this address is new and requires no structural changes. Additionally, changing its status from residential to commercial is possible. In December 2018, with God's help, we moved into the new building, and since then, efforts to enhance and improve this place of worship have continued.

The first priest of the church was Archimandrite Vichentie Punguță, who had served at Negru Vodă Monastery in the Diocese of Argeș and Muscel and accepted to serve as the parish priest. Beginning November 1, 2004, Father Vichentie served at the St. Dumitru Romanian Orthodox Monastery in Middletown, NY, and Father Gheorghe Naghi replaced him. Since 2005, the faithful have been shepherded by Father Teodor Alin Gîrlonța, former priest of St. Nicholas parish, Blaj deanery, Orthodox Archdiocese of Alba Iulia.

From the founding of the parish until now, alongside religious services, numerous fundraising activities have taken place, such as picnics and preparing traditional Romanian dishes at various festivals organized by the church or the Romanian Community Center of Sacramento. Additionally, religious-educational activities have been carried out, for example: history lessons, Sunday school, children's participation in the Religion Olympiad, summer camp at the Holy Cross Monastery in Castro Valley, pilgrimages, and catechesis evenings. Youth aged 16 and over have participated in ROYA camps—camps dedicated to youth from Romanian parishes across the United States—where they had the opportunity to meet other Romanian youth, to deepen their understanding of the teachings and beauty of the Orthodox faith, and enjoy Christian fellowship. All these activities have contributed to strengthening faith, consolidating the bonds among community members, and passing on Christian values to future generations.
