All Are Welcome

 Following the way of Jesus and joined together by God’s Spirit, we are committed to loving and welcoming all people. Regardless of the color of our skin, our immigration status, our gender identity or sexual orientation, our physical or mental ability, what we’ve done or haven’t done, no matter what questions or doubts we have, we are all equally loved, worthy of belonging and invited to serve.

Worship Services

First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica streams our worship services via our live feed each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. You are invited to join us in worship and celebrate God’s presence in Santa Monica, or from anywhere around the world.

Quote

Love this church. Great people. Inspired minister. Great sermons. Fantastic music. Worship service includes a cool mix of traditional and contemporary Christian music with both a choir and a band. Fabulous children and family ministry. Relaxed and casual “come as you are” style and vibe.

Our church community

At First Pres, we understand and appreciate that God has not only blessed each of us with an individual and unique character, but also has worked through us to create a church community with its own distinct characteristics. We are a church that welcomes all people, wherever they are on their spiritual journey.
