Welcome to Concord International! Also known as CISDAC. We are multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic church. We would like to think that we represent what God’s kingdom looks like. But God’s kingdom is not known just as people from all nations and languages, but also as disciples who reflect God’s character through our own lives. My prayer is that you come to know Jesus better today than you knew Him before. – Pedro M Trinidad, Pastor

WE WANT WORSHIP VOLUNTEERS:

God has given everyone at least one gift and here at CISDAC we want you to share them with us. We are always looking for individuals who want to be a part of the worship service. No need to be perfect, God just wants an open heart! Please contact Celia Regal 925-391-5991

The Audio-Visual Department needs help setting up microphones before service and after church services to collect them. Interested people contact Pastor Marlene.
