About Us

Community Christian Church began serving San Pedro and the Peninsula in 1922 as First Christian Church.  In those days the church was connected with the Disciples of Christ. The congregation built the new building on Summerland Street in 1962. Approximately 15 years ago the church voted to leave the denomination and become what it is today–independent, evangelical, and Bible based. Community has a congregational form of government.  The elders and pastor make decisions on which the congregational membership vote.  Elders meet on a monthly basis.

What We Believe

Our Mission:

To build a passion for knowing God, and to tell others about Jesus.

Our Vision:

To be a community church encompassing the diversity of people on the peninsula; to help us develop in knowledge and commitment so we can reach our maximum potential in Christ; to use the Bible as our only authority with practical and in depth teaching, and to enjoy freedom on matters of opinion.
We will accomplish this through contemporary and enthusiastic worship that enhances the experience of God, traditional and reverent worship that glorifies the majesty of God.
