HISTORY

Pacific Coast Church is celebrating close to 60 years of ministry. Its multi-generational community reflects a balance of young families, singles and "builders"...a true reflection of the San Clemente community they are reaching with the gospel message. Sunday services are a balance of contemporary worship and engaging teaching for the adults, along with the fully graded children's and student ministry.

CURRENT STATUS
PCC has an average attendance of 1,200 and given the busyness of young families schedules they likely minister to over 1,500 people who call PCC their home church. Approximately 1/3 of Sunday attendees are children and youth. Currently they see new visitors each Sunday and are poised for continued growth as they live out their vision for future ministry.

LOCATION / DEMOGRAPHIC
Although San Clemente itself dates back to the early 1900's, the master planned community of Talega is a newer community attracting young families and professionals. PCC's primary growth has been with young families. PCC is committed to providing an excellent Children's Ministry and providing tools and training for young parents to raise their children to follow the Lord.
