Pinellas Community Church

What Pinellas Community Church does

Pinellas Community Church (PCC) is an independent, non-denominational Christian church and 501(c)-equivalent non-profit organization headquartered at 5501 31st St S in St. Petersburg, Florida. The church operates a single physical campus and serves the South St. Petersburg community through a portfolio of six ministry programs: Pinellas Kids (nursery through 5th grade), City Youth (middle and high school students), Small Groups for adult community, a Compassion outreach ministry, a Worship Band, and Sunshine Preschool — a fully-owned adjacent business offering weekday Christian early-childhood education for toddlers through VPK age. The organization is staffed by approximately 14 employees, including Lead Pastor Mark Canfield, Teaching Pastor Jeff Countryman, and Pastor of Compassion Bobbie Jo Johnson.

The church's revenue model is dual-stream: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members (collected via the Church Center online platform for single or recurring gifts, or by mailed check), supplemented by weekly tuition from Sunshine Preschool ($237/week for toddlers, $212/week for preschoolers, voucher-based for VPK). Annual budgets are presented to the congregation for review and approval as a transparency mechanism. PCC has no proprietary technology; its technology stack is commodity — Church Center for giving, registrations, and group management, YouTube for live-streamed services, Right Now Media for content, and standard social media channels (Facebook, Instagram) for outreach.

The church's go-to-market is community-led: weekend worship services, small group enrollment, and personal invitation are the primary acquisition channels, while local mission partnerships (Feed St. Pete for food distribution, Next Stepps Pregnancy Center for crisis pregnancy support) and a recurring global mission partnership with Spring Valley School and Orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya extend the church's footprint beyond its campus. PCC explicitly does not have a mobile app, API, or any disclosed software integrations.
