The Christian Social Party (PSC;) is a Chilean political party founded in September 2022.[2] It was formed by independent leaders and ex-militants of the defunct Christian Conservative Party (PCC).[3]
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.[3] Among its founders were Luciano Silva, a former National Renewal (RN) conventioneer, and Antaris Varela, who presided over the PCC.[4] 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.[5]
In November 2022, the community began its formation and constitution process before the Electoral Service (Servel).[6] 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.[7]

In the same way, it presented a Supreme Court made up of a president, a vice president, a secretary and three members.[6]
