Peninsula Covenant Church

What Peninsula Covenant Church does

Peninsula Covenant Church (PCC) is a non-profit Christian church founded in 1951 and headquartered at 3560 Farm Hill Boulevard, Redwood City, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a 501(c)-equivalent religious organization operating two identical Sunday worship services at 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., with live streaming via gathering.wearepcc.com and a dedicated YouTube channel. The congregation is described as nearly 75 years old and multi-generational, with five generations of community members. The organization employs approximately 58 staff and operates a portfolio of age-stratified and need-stratified ministries rather than a unified product.

The core "product" is weekly worship combined with a comprehensive ministry stack: PCC Kids (children from birth through elementary), epic (middle school, 6th-8th grade, partnered with WyldLife Redwood City and San Carlos), YTH (high school, 9th-12th grade), Alpha (faith exploration), BLESS (personal ministry), marriage support and weddings, counseling referrals, and a wide set of care-ministry support groups (GriefShare, Divorce and Relationship Support, Higher Power Recovery for addiction, Women's Cancer Support, Parents of LGBTQ+ Kids, Affair Recovery, Families Dealing with Mental Illness). Three wholly-owned subsidiaries extend the operational footprint into adjacent services: PCC Community Center, PCC Preschool, and PCC School Age Child Care.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, processed online through Pushpay, supplemented by tuition-like income from the preschool and child care subsidiaries. There is no commercial pricing model, no products sold, and no enterprise customers. Technology adoption is limited to standard SaaS tools (Pushpay, Zoom, Church Center, Google Forms, MailChimp, YouTube) with no proprietary platform, no AI/ML capability, and no data product. Governance rests with pastoral leadership including Lead Pastor Mark Tumney, Dan Perkins, and the named program directors.
