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.
