The Community Presbyterian Church is very proud to have the historic Camp Stoneman Chapel as its home. Our minister looks out on faces of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, with diverse interests and professions. We thrive on our diversity and welcome the creative possibilities that come from our different viewpoints.

Located approximately 40 miles east of San Francisco in Contra Costa County, Pittsburg has changed dramatically since the end of World War II. The population in the vicinity of the church has grown significantly as a number of new homes and suburban commuters have been moved into this area.



Our Sunday worship service observes the liturgical calendar and follows the Revised Common Lectionary, which contains the scripture readings for each Sunday that follows a three-year cycle. The service is generally traditional in order, but with informal leanings.

Our worship is enriched by an excellent choir director, an adult choir, and a bell choir. The youth of the church conduct the entire worship service one Sunday each spring. The bell choir performs several times during the year. Summer also brings our week long Vacation Bible School program for children of the church and the community

At Community Presbyterian Church we believe that the presence of children in worship is important for all of us. It is only by being present as the community worships and shares its joys and concerns that children are able to grow in the faith. And the presence of children in our midst is a constant reminder of how we are all to be before God -- open and vulnerable. Children worship with the adults for the opening portions of our weekly service, are dismissed for Sunday School or a special activity following the children's sermon.

We celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month, as well as on Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, and other special times.

In following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Community Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg manifests being part of the body of Christ in the world by:
    · Expressing Gods love as an open, inviting and accepting community of faith
    · Providing opportunities for worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth
    · Working toward a more just society by sharing generously our time, talents and      resources with each other, our community, and the world.

Community Presbyterian Church has a high regard for mission outreach. The church supports global ministries by contributing through special offerings such as the One Great Hour of Sharing, the Peacemaking Offering, and the Christmas Joy Offerings. We support our local food bank, and we collect food for organizations and individual families as well as Christmas gifts for the needy. When emergencies or special needs arise, our congregation has been very generous. Many individual church members are also very active in the community in education and philanthropic organizations.

We are affiliated with The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) which has approximately 2.2 million members, 11,000 congregations and 21,000 ordained ministers. You may go the following website for more information.
