Our Beliefs | Vision Document | Church Newsletter
Old First Presbyterian Church is an inclusive community of faith united by trust in God and faith in Jesus Christ. We warmly welcome all who accept and respond to God's saving grace in Jesus Christ and who desire to participate in the life and ministry of this church.
Established in 1849, we are the Oldest Protestant Congregation in California. We are constantly renewed through a wide spectrum of activities, and of course, through new members and visitors!

Adult Education Classes – Munro Room, 9:30 am
October ushers in some interesting times for the church and for us as citizens of the United States. Come at 9:30 am, to the Munro Room, on Sunday, to talk and learn about the Bible, conferences people have attended, and the up coming election.
October 12 Questions about faith and the Bible that you always wanted to talk about, but didn’t dare ask. We not only ask; we talk!
October 19 Here’s another “little” book—Obadiah—Good Old Testament name, but who was he and what did he write about that got him included in the Bible?
October 26 Why we vote or don’t vote because we’re Christian? What we think are the important issues and why we choose the candidate we do. This is discussion, not debate, and not shouting down the other person who differs from you. If some issues are confusing, you can ask if anyone else has a better take on the issue.
