Community Christian Church was founded as Pershing Avenue Christian Church in August 1967.    

It was established as a neighborhood church in the rapidly growing southeast Orlando area, from the membership ranks of Central Christian Church, which had reached its capacity at that time.

After meeting 2 years at the school, in 1969 the church moved next door into a new church building on a 5 acre property.

Over the years, the church has had an active congregation, and served the community with children’s activities and youth groups, various ministries, and serving as an Orange County polling precinct.

The Pershing Avenue property was needed by Orange County Public Schools for the new Pershing K-8 school, and was sold in 2017 immediately following the 50th anniversary service and  celebration.      
 

After temporarily relocating to Conway United Methodist Church and pausing for the pandemic, the church began meeting at its new home at 6800 Lake Underhill Drive under  its new name Community Christian Church in September 2020.

The full-time pastor is the Revered Terry Harper, who began his ministry with the congregation April 2023.  
 

The church is growing and active in the community.
