History
Our Beginnings In 1975, 50 people met for a Christmas Eve service at Los Naranjos Elementary School--and Irvine Presbyterian Church was born. From that first small gathering, IPC has grown into a church of hundreds and influenced the lives of thousands. For 37 years we have remained committed to our mission: following Jesus as Lord, making disciples, and engaging our culture with God's transforming love. Located in the heart of Irvine, we are a community centered on Jesus Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and sharing the love of God in service to our neighbors in Orange County and around the world.
Specialties
We desire to have a place of worship, prayer, and service to the community around us, and be a site for special religious events such as weddings and memorials. Our vision as IPC is to make disciples who make disciples. Our mission is to encourage and equip each believer to follow Jesus as Lord, engaging our culture with God's transforming love in order to make disciples of Jesus Christ. To achieve our vision of discipleship, we prayerfully focus on these priorities: -Coming into God's Presence -Cultivating the Mind of Christ -Strengthening one another in Christ -Sending in the name of Christ We believe that the church is not the building, but the family of believers, imperfect but called to love God completely, to love each other, and to love others compassionately, by His power and in His name. Together, we will follow Jesus as Lord, make disciples, and engage our culture with God's transforming love.
