| Statement Of Faith: | Peninsula Bible Church Cupertino (PBCC) is an elder-led, non-denominational church located in Silicon Valley. As our name suggests, we are deeply committed to the study and teaching of the Bible “… to equip the saints for the work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:12) – believing this is essential to making disciples of Jesus and drawing others to faith in Him. Our church family reflects the rich ethnic diversity of the South Bay, and we seek to be a Christ-centered community where people of all ages and backgrounds can belong, grow and serve together. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” (Acts 2:42) Please visit our webpage to find out more about us: ● What We Believe ● Family Values: Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known ● Family Values: Sermon Archive |
