The Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County (I4C) began as a Council of Churches, then became Interfaith in 1997, widening its membership to include congregations and faith organizations which represent the growing pluralistic population of Contra Costa County. They remain committed to supporting the diverse religious and communities in our county. There are 107 congregations and organizations holding membership and affiliation from a wide range of Christian and other faith traditions, including Jewish, Buddhist, Baha’i, Unitarian, Islamic, Sikh, Unity, Latter-Day Saints, and Religious Science.

  • Health and Faith in Action connects with county agencies to promote immunization of impoverished children, with the Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers Program to help elders stay in their homes, and with the local chapter of the Alliance for the Mentally Ill.
  • Social Justice Alliance advocates partnership to focus on issues of racism, welfare reform, immigration, and other areas of need. The Homeless Summit of SoJA operates the Winter Nights Shelter.
  • Program & Education offers opportunities to explore issues critical to our work and the world and connect us with groups such as the Interfaith Center at the Presidio, the United Religions Initiative, the FAITHS Initiative and the Northern California Inter-religious Conference.
  • Youth & Young Adults discover venues in which to bring young people together from a variety of traditions in order to build bridges and strengthen faith and self-esteem.
  • The Juvenile Detention Chaplaincy, under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Charles Tinsley, ministers to young people in the facilities in Martinez and Byron.
  • The Singing Messengers, under the direction of Ms. Jackie Wan, sends musical teams into nursing homes across the county, with three separate programs each year.Web: interfaithccc.org/
