The community arose after the dissolution of the PCC, a group that during the 2021 parliamentary elections achieved the election of Sara Concha as deputy for the Ñuble Region under the Christian Social Front pact.[5] Among its founders were Luciano Silva, a former National Renewal (RN) conventioneer, and Antaris Varela, who presided over the PCC.[6] Ángel Roa served as party leader from September 2022 to May 2023.
Like its predecessor, the PSC is linked to evangelical and conservative church groups.[7]
In November 2022, the community began its formation and constitution process before the Electoral Service (Servel).[8] During that same month, the incorporation of Deputy Concha was confirmed, who until then was independent and a member of the RN bench in the Chamber of Deputies.[9]
