Meet Pflugerville Community Church


Pflugerville Community Church (PCC) is a non-denominational congregation located in Pflugerville, Texas, that operates under the defining mission of “Proclaiming Christ, Producing Disciples, and Praising God Together.” Founded in 1996 by Pastor Steve Clem with a small group of families meeting in a storefront, PCC has grown into an established church with an average weekly attendance of around 360 people. The church is deeply characterized by its motto, “Three services, two languages, one church,” which reflects its commitment to unity amidst diversity.
