Pacific Crossroads Church

What Pacific Crossroads Church does

Pacific Crossroads Church is a private, independent nonprofit Protestant congregation affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of America and the Pacific Presbytery. Its primary gathering is a Sunday worship service at Barnum Hall in Santa Monica High School, and it serves adults and families in greater Los Angeles through Community Groups, Christian formation, family ministries, campus ministry, recovery support, care, and missions. The organization is described as having been established in 1998 and as having planted four daughter churches between 2005 and 2023.

Operationally, PCC uses third-party digital tools rather than proprietary technology. Church Center and Planning Center support giving, people management, group coordination, event registration, and mobile access to sermons, music, bulletins, and volunteering; Boxcast and YouTube carry livestreams, with access through Apple TV and Roku, while Vimeo hosts recordings, Spotify distributes worship music, and Google Analytics supports web measurement. The church moved online giving from TouchPoint and PushPay to Planning Center Giving on January 10, 2025, and no public or partner-facing API is disclosed.

Economically, PCC is a donation-funded ministry rather than a seller of products or services. Voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members support the general fund, missions, and special ministry initiatives, and no prices are charged for worship, formation, care, or community participation. Engagement is community- and event-led: weekly services, neighborhood groups, parenting seminars, prayer gatherings, family programs, USC and UCLA campus ministry, and recovery meetings provide participation channels, while livestreams, podcasts, social media, and the app extend content access and giving.
