First Presbyterian Church — Anaheim, Calif.

First Presbyterian Church in the heart of Anaheim is seeking a solo pastor. As the oldest Protestant Church in Orange County, California, Anaheim First Presbyterian (founded in 1890) seeks to be a community for the community offering a safe harbor that offers acceptance and welcome to all people in the heart of downtown Anaheim. This commitment was set in our congregation’s DNA when in the 1880s our church reflected the diversity of Anaheim by offering Sunday School in English, German, Spanish and Chinese. At pivotal moments we choose to stand with those who are marginalized or oppressed. Whether by joining in a march for racial justice in Selma, AL, offering donuts and coffee to Japanese neighbors as they waited to board trains to internment camps, standing against the KKK, or flying a rainbow flag to show our solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, we find ourselves reaching out and standing with our excluded neighbor.
