About Us

Established in 1952. Serving in the Most Unchurched and Dechurched Area of America.

Christ Community Church began as a church plant with thirteen members in January 1952. Originally named Cambrian Park Baptist Church, the fledgling congregation met in a member's home off Camden Avenue. In January 1954, the church purchased the property where it still stands today. CCC’s teaching and polity reformed under Pastor Keith’s leadership in the early 2000s. For over half a century, God has graciously fueled the fire of this lampstand in San Jose.

According to a 2017 report from the Barna Group, the cities of San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco ranked #1 in the most unchurched and dechurched cities of the country. Silicon Valley exerts enormous cultural, social, and political influence around the world, and we desire to see that influence won for Christ. With the nations living in our backyard, we recognize the profound missional opportunity presented to us. CCC embraces the challenge of ministry in Silicon Valley and is thankful for the privilege of serving in a place of such beauty, influence, diversity, and spiritual need.

Making Disciples & Helping the Helpless 

Our vision is to see San Jose discipled, the defenseless in our city defended, and the nations reached for the glory of Christ. 

Our mission together as a family is threefold: 

  1. Building up the body through expository preaching, personal discipleship, and practical ministry training. 
  2. Engaging the world with God’s Word through Bible studies, worldview conversations, and missionary support. 
  3. Protecting our pre-born neighbors from abortion by offering help and hope on the sidewalk of our local abortion facility. 

This vision is ambitious, and our mission is impossible in our own strength. We aim to bring our labors to God in personal and communal prayer, having faith that we serve an almighty King for whom all things are possible.

A Confessionally Reformed, Southern Baptist Church

CCC is blessed to be in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. We support the International Mission Board of the SBC and are grateful to receive significant tuition discounts at SBC seminaries for our members. Our statement of faith is the revised New Hampshire Confession of Faith of 1853, which is a reformed Baptist confession. All members of CCC are expected to be in substantial agreement with the statement of faith. The historic confession is reproduced below with the original "Jehovah" substituted for "Yahweh.”

Statement of Faith

Congregationally Ruled & Pastor Led

Members play a vital role in the governance of CCC. The body calls and dismisses pastors or deacons, accepts and releases members, exercises church discipline, amends the church constitution, and approves the church budget. All members receive keys to the campus building and convene once a quarter after lunch on Sunday for voting and updates. Pastors lead the church and engage in the ministry of the Word, including teaching, counseling, and evangelism. Deacons serve in various capacities like church accounting, property maintenance, and meeting practical member needs.

Pastor Keith Booth

Keith has been a resident of the Bay Area for most of his life. He graduated from Gunderson High School in 1984 and pursued undergraduate studies in economics and psychology at U.C. Davis. After coming to a saving grace during his undergraduate years, Keith earned his teaching credential in 1992 and taught for two years at Cupertino High School, followed by eleven years at DeAnza Community College. He furthered his education by obtaining a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Gateway Seminary and later completed his doctorate at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. For over twenty years, Keith has served at CCC, currently fulfilling the role of lead teaching pastor. He has also contributed as an adjunct professor at Gateway Seminary, teaching courses on preaching and Bible teaching. Keith is married to his elementary school sweetheart, Laurie, and they have three adult sons: Kirk, Brandon, and Joshua. In his spare time, you might find him reading, exercising, or cherishing moments with his seven grandchildren.

Pastor Kirk Booth

Kirk has been at Christ Community Church since he was 6 months old. He grew up hearing the gospel, made a profession of faith at a young age, and received baptism at CCC. During college, Kirk began to seek God more seriously through His Word. As he grew in his love for God, Kirk's career interests shifted towards full-time ministry. He earned his bachelor's degree in Small Business Administration from Northern Arizona University and his master of divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Kirk spent four years in the financial services industry until 2020, when CCC’s members called him to serve as a pastor. Among his various responsibilities, Kirk leads the ministry at San Jose State University and oversees Rescue the Innocent. He enjoys playing chess and is married to his beloved wife, Sarah. Together they plan to homeschool their four young children: Abigail, Elizabeth, Elijah (aka “George”), and Noah.

Deacon David Ferro

Dave, a lifelong San Jose native, came to Christ in 2006 through reading God’s Word. He and his wife, Andrea, became members of CCC in 2014. Dave enjoys classic car shows, spending time with family, and visiting Monterey or Pismo, California. You'll often find him on Sundays in the audio/video booth!

Deacon Timothy McKinley

Tim's family moved from the Midwest to San Jose in the 1970s, and he completed middle school and high school locally. God used a Christian TV show that concluded with a gospel message to help bring Tim to a saving grace. Tim started attending CCC in 2006, drawn by its solid Biblical teaching and warm community of members. He enjoys spending time with his wife Debbie and their four grandchildren.

Members Covenanted to Following Jesus

All members of CCC commit to the membership covenant. This covenant is our promise to God and one another that we will strive to live out the Christian life in our church family at CCC. The membership covenant helps define what it means to be a member of our local body. We also encourage our members to create a simple plan outlining how they will live out the membership covenant. This plan typically includes 1-3 specific, doable commitments for each Biblical imperative: eat, pray, praise, serve, grow, go. Faithfulness looks different for different people, so the plans are intended to be personalized for each person. We offer accountability, support, prayer, and encouragement within our Discipleship Groups to help one another uphold our commitments to following Jesus.
