OVERVIEW
Founded
on Easter Sunday, 1910, as an interdenominational Christian church, Piedmont
Community Church (PCC) is located in the heart of Piedmont, California,
in the foothills overlooking Oakland. Following the 1906 earthquake, Piedmont's
population quickly doubled, and the need quickly arose for a local church.
What began as a modest Sunday school soon became The Church in Piedmont.
From the
beginning, the church was nondoctrinal and inclusive, and PCC continues
to embrace a diversity of opinions and theological beliefs. While our
roots extend from the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches, PCC members
come from an eclectic group of faiths and denominations, including Methodist,
Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Jewish, and other traditions. Please take
a few moments to read our creed, listen
to some recent sermons and explore
our history in further
detail.
PCC is proud
of its lay ministry program, featuring over 25 volunteer teams, including a volunteer Equipping
Ministries Team whose members offer leadership training and support for
lay ministries coordination, and a Mission Action Team to facilitate and
expand outreach to local and international programs. Everyone's gifts
are needed... Get involved!
Our church
family currently includes almost 1,000 members. This inclusive spiritual
home is a place where individuals and families can freely explore the
depths of Christian teachings and learn together what it means to live
a life of faith. Everyone is invited to join us for any or all aspects
of worship, fellowship, study, and service. For further information
about becoming a member, simply meet Associate Minister Don Ashburn after worship in the front of the sanctuary where he will be available
to answer questions and offer an overview of church life
