Membership
Pacific Church Network was formerly known as the Conservative Baptist Association (CB) of Southern California. We started in 1954 as an association of churches and ministries coming together to defend and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 2013, as a part of the adoption of a new vision, we formally became known as Pacific Church Network.
Who We Are
Pacific Church Network is a partnership of many ethnically and culturally diverse churches. The churches that make up Pacific Church Network are committed to a common statement of faith and to participation together toward the advance of the gospel. Pacific Church Network churches partner together to Equip each other, Encourage each other, and Establish new churches together. Pacific Church Network is led by a board of our Pastors, is governed by agreed upon bylaws, and is funded by our member churches.
Mission
The mission of Pacific Church Network is to establish and strengthen churches to reach their world with the gospel of Jesus Christ for the glory of God.

Pacific Church Network Member Churches commit to:
THEOLOGICAL ALIGNMENT: We commit to the Statement of Faith.
FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP: We commit to give a significant monetary contribution each year to support Pacific Church Network. All new church plants commit 5% of received offerings beginning at their public launch. Churches often ask for a guideline for giving. If the total giving of all PCN churches together averaged between 2% -5% of their operating budgets, this would provide a strong financial foundation to further our mission. This guideline is suggestive for congregations but not mandatory.
NETWORK PARTICIPATION: We commit to support and encourage each other, partner together as churches to become more effective in serving our Lord and resource each other in order to continuously grow in our leadership and ministry effectiveness.
COVENANT: We are asking all churches who wish to participate in our network to sign a covenant with us. Please contact us at info@pacificchurchnetwork.com for the covenant.
