First Presbyterian Church of San Diego - 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 love Jesus. Jesus loved us first. We are not yet all that we will be; we are not what we once were. That's neither bragging nor complaining. It is the glad announcement of a people that know their Savior and follow their Lord.

Each new member class has the highly educated and the homeless, and the two categories, we have discovered, are not mutually exclusive. Our core leadership is a large cadre of long established members, many of whom grew up in this congregation; our new members are often from the streets and now the homes near the church in neighborhoods that are newly repopulated. Our ethnic diversity grows. We are 750 plus members; 450 plus weekly worshipers on average.
