Church
History
Our Church was started by mothers who wanted a local Sunday
School for their children. The first church in the Carmichael area, it
was built by the dedication and efforts of the residents as a community
church. It was officially chartered on December 2, 1923. The early church
leaders chose affiliation with the Presbyterian Church because they liked
the democratic organization of the denomination and its emphasis on education.
Throughout the past eight decades Carmichael and CPC have grown and developed
together.
We are a Christ-centered church—affirming our past
while being enthusiastically committed to the present and dedicated to
a God-guided vision for the future. The remodeling of our mission-style
church begun three years ago was envisioned as the opportunity for renewal
of our faith and facilities for outreach and mission in the 21st Century.
Our two, very different Sunday worship services, congregational
activities and church events provide religious opportunities for a wide
range of members from many different backgrounds. This is a church where
diverse people come for God’s grace and find new paths to
strengthen their relationship with God.
