What to Expect

What are services like?
Our Sunday Worship service is "traditional" in style - with a full choir, organ, and liturgy.

What is the community like?
The First Presbyterian Church, through its Grand Street Center, seeks to create benevolent partnerships with agencies, organizations and individuals in Orange that promote youth, nurture education and recreation, build community alliances downtown between cities and churches, present citizens with opportunities to contribute their gifts and abilities in neighborly service and to demonstrate the love of God in social ministries. The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Orange searched for a way to extend our ongoing Mission and Outreach activities within the community. In January 2005, we purchased the building at 146 N. Grand Street, which is adjacent to our church campus, to extend our Mission and Outreach.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All are welcome to join us for worship!

What Members Say

    Lyn shared their experience Jan 2021

    I hold this church very Close to my heart as my father was the senior minister there in the 60s and 70s. I grew up in this church and taught Sunday school in this church until I moved away in the 1970s. I love the fact that I can watch the service from my home in Banning, California as I am disabled. I am a member of the Beaumont Presbyterian church, but I am loving the social and progressive justice experience of this church and Winston’s excellent and thought provoking sermons very much. I guess you could say it took COVID-19 for me to find my way home on YouTube Thank you. Lyn
