Carmichael, California
Christ Community was formed in a Carmichael garage in 1961, and in 1962 formally organized as a Reformed Church in America (RCA) congregation. Christ Community’s mission - then and now - has been to make fully committed followers of Jesus Christ. We exist to be the presence of Christ in Carmichael and beyond. We have always had an eye not only on the already gathered, but on welcoming and blessing the not yet gathered. As a multi-generational church, we say we are one church with two worship styles!
After outgrowing the original Winding Way campus, Christ Community moved to its current Manzanita Avenue campus in 1980; it was significantly expanded in 2008. In 2022 Christ Community joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Today, we are led by our Senior Pastor Ryan Balbi who spent 15 years in youth ministry and has a deep passion to raise up disciples of Jesus.
