About First Presbyterian Church San Diego

We are 750 plus members; 450 plus weekly worshipers on average. We are 100 plus adults in formal educational settings on Sunday and during the week, 50 teens, 75 children, and a number larger than that in informal weekly small group meetings. We serve 250 plus urban homeless a week with a shared Sunday afternoon meal, evening discipleship classes, and opportunities for fellowship and service. We are Presbyterians, but the great majority of us did not begin in this household of faith, and more than a few of us are new to seriously following the Faith. Together we discover the riches of a living tradition that has sustained many throughout the centuries. We engage in local missions to the neighborhood public schools, the business community, the military, and often host the San Diego arts community on our campus. We travel far and often in mission to the global world – starting churches, building schools, supporting hospitals and community development projects. We have become a home to the poor and poor in spirit, the hungry and hungry at heart, the affluent and influential, the least and the lost. We are glad for this home and now endeavor to live in service to others in such ways that demonstrate our abiding gratitude to God the Father, who in his Son and by his Spirit, has welcomed us home.
