Mission Statement

The Palisades Community Church is dedicated to building Christian community amidst diversity of race, lifestyle and belief, through inspiring worship and community service.

Our History

The Palisades Community Church was founded 88 years ago when several families became interested in developing a neighborhood Sunday School for their children. They called a community meeting and were happy to learn that the idea was quite popular among area families. Because the neighbors were from 11 different denominational backgrounds, they feared that it would be too competitive to focus their teachings on one particular tradition. One of the founders suggested that they begin a Community Church in which all would be welcomed and to which all members could bring the best of their spiritual heritage.

The Palisades Community Church is now an independent, post-denominational church that welcomes all into our family. Our progressive Christian congregation is dedicated to religious inclusiveness, care and concern for our congregation and giving back to the world around us.
