Community Presbyterian Church of Cambria

Tracy Vining
Senior Pastor

Pastor Tracy was born in Los Angeles. As the son of a Marine Corps fighter pilot, he lived in many places throughout the USA. He received a BA and MBA from the University of Southern California. He and his wife, Kathi, have been married for 35 years and have three grown children and a grandchild.

In 1991, Tracy felt a call to enter the ministry and began attending Fuller Seminary. After receiving his Master of Divinity degree he was ordained as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church, USA. He first served as Associate Pastor for Adult Ministry at John Knox Presbyterian Church in Dublin, CA. In 2003, he was called as Pastor and Head of Staff of Community Presbyterian Church of Cambria and has been faithfully serving his congregation since that time. He is especially gifted in caring for the sick and shut-ins and in delivering heart-felt, meaningful sermons each week.

Pastor's favorite pastimes are fishing, skiing, riding Jackson, his horse, through the scenic Cambria hills, running his 3 dogs and fighting on for "Old SC". In quieter moments, he enjoys cooking, reading and playing his guitar.

Chris Milbrath
Youth and Family Pastor

Following his passion for children, Chris has been involved in youth and family ministry for 14 years. He and his wife, Jenny, have been married for 12 years and they are proud parents of 2 children. Chris has a BA in Sociology and an MA in theology.

At CPCC, Chris organizes many exciting activities for the junior and senior high youth. These include such things as trips to Hume Lake, Jr. High Summer Blast and Sr. High Wake Jam. Each year he takes students on mission trips to Mexico and Rancho Sordo Mudo. In terms of community outreach programs, he heads a yearly VBS in August, a Harvest Carnival in October, and a monthly Youth Praise Night. His love for the youth is apparent in all he does.

When asked what makes him laugh, he'll say "My kids and broom hockey at Hume Lake". And, what makes him cry, he'll say "onions and the Oakland Raiders!"
