ABOUT THE COUNCIL…

The Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County (I4C) is an autonomous local organization solely governed by its own Executive Committee, elected by the membership at the Council’s annual meeting. The Executive Committee meets monthly. Much of the Council’s work is carried on by committees, appointed as needed to care for special ized tasks.

The Interfaith Council, as the Council of Churches, was originally organized for the primary purpose of providing chaplaincy ministries in various county institutions on behalf of local congregations.

The Council became interfaith in 1997, widening its membership to include congregations and faith organizations which represent the growing pluralistic population of Contra Costa County. We remain committed to supporting the religious and communities in our county.

Program areas have expanded to include Health and Faith in Action, Social Justice, Finance, Spirituality, Youth and Education.
