Christ Community Church was organized in the spring of 1997 by the North Florida Presbytery as a church plant of Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church to establish a PCA ministry in the heart of Gainesville.

She was founded upon the inerrancy of Scripture, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Rob Pendley, along with his wife Kim, faithfully labored as senior pastor to the flock of CCC for 18 years. Rob has recently been called to Trinity Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Montgomery, Alabama, where he is serving as pastor of discipleship.

The Pulpit Nominating Committee (PNC), consisting of 2 elders, 1 deacon, and 4 members of the congregation at large, has been duly elected by the congregation, has organized itself, and has begun the search process. We are committed to prayer and following the Holy Spirit as we begin our search for the man whom our gracious and good God has already prepared to be our next pastor. Christ Community exists to experience and extend the grace of Jesus Christ in Gainesville and throughout the world. Grace Abounds. Our mission may be defined by seeking grace, sharing grace, and showing grace.

  • We seek to know God through his Word. Our members participate in corporate worship, weekly Bible studies, community groups and accountability partnerships.
  • We are a center of discipleship, based upon the sound teaching and preaching of the doctrines of grace as expounded in the Westminster standards.
  • We share grace in community by caring for each other. As a place for the broken, the lost, the lonely, the skilled, the intellectual, the rich, and the poor, we desire to equip our people to meet the assaults of contemporary culture and be a place of restoration, peace and hope.
  • We long to show grace in community by going into the broken places of Gainesville and the world and bringing shalom. CCC is highly committed to sharing the love of Jesus with our hurting world both locally and globally.
  • We impact the world for Jesus in Gainesville as we are strategically located near the University of Florida, with thousands of new students, foreign and domestic coming our way every year.
  • We desire that the man that God has chosen to be our next pastor has proficiency and excellence in preaching, with a firm grasp of the Gospel, proclaiming and applying the redemptive power of Jesus from all of Scripture.
  • We desire that he would be committed to the spiritual development of his flock and have a shepherd’s heart. He would long to be servant leader, willing to come alongside and develop leaders. We long for a pastor whose heart breaks for the lost.

If you discern the Lord leading you to pursue this call, we invite you to participate in this process with us, with the assurance that we will keep your interest in strictest confidence. We have compiled the following information to enable you to become familiar with Christ Community Church and answer further questions you may have about us as a congregation.

Church Involvement Survey

We designed the survey to help match your interests and gifts with current needs and opportunities within the life of the church. Thank you for participating!

 

After publishing the Church Profile Form survey for two weeks, the congregation submitted a total of 51 responses. These responses were very helpful to the PNC as we sought to be certain of the direction of the congregation’s desires for its new pastor. We thought it would be helpful to share the average results of the questions asked so that you could see the information as well.

We ask that you continue to pray for the pastor God is leading to our congregation, for our church as we seek to discern who this is, and for God’s kingdom, that this search would lead to His glory being magnified.

A. Quinn Jones music and art teachers put together an evening for students, family and friends (December 16th). To make this event special, in the past our Church has provided a dessert reception. This year, we would like to extend Christ’s love beyond the faculty and students. We have planned to send each child home with home-baked Christmas cookies and each staff member homemade loaf of sweet bread (zucchini, banana, cinnamon, etc.). The children from CCC have prepared bags and boxes to be filled! Please consider baking for this wonderful event and sign up here- AQJ Cookie & Loaves Sign Up
