The First Presbyterian Church in Vallejo is a historic church in Vallejo, California.
Founded in 1862[3] as an Old School congregation during the Old School–New School Controversy, it is now part of the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s Presbytery of the Redwoods.[4] In 1954, the congregation consecrated the current building, which houses classrooms, offices, an auditorium, a social hall, a chapel, and a sanctuary.[5]
The building hosts programs for students at Vallejo Middle School, and also serves as seasonal concert space for the Vallejo Choral Society.[6]
The congregation is part of a group of Solano County and Napa County institutions that make up a local chapter of the Industrial Areas Foundation.[7]
Ministers
[edit]The first minister of the church was Nathaniel Klink, a pastor who graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in May 1851.[8] He was the stated supply for the congregation: he was not installed by the congregation as pastor, but was assigned by the presbytery to preach at the church.
