Glenn R. Shields currently serves as the senior Pastor of Progressive Community Church (PCC) in Stockton, California. He considers it an honor to pastor God’s people in such challenging times. His focus of ministry involves connecting personally with God’s people while teaching them God’s word as they are encouraged to live out their faith on a daily basis.

His vision for the church to become more than a Sunday place of worship has come to fruition.

The church staff works diligently to provide a loving and professional environment to foster fellowship, dialogue and community involvement.
