Visitor FAQ

New to First Pres?

We welcome newcomers to our worship, educational activities, and community ministries.   We have in-person worship, weekly on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.  in the sanctuary and livestreamed to YouTube.  Adult Bible study is at 9:30 a.m. in Fireside Lounge.  On most Sundays, children have their own class during worship after the time with children.

Remote Participation
We post our worship services to our YouTube channel:  First Presbyterian Church of San Bernardino.   Worship is also posted on this web page under Sermons and Stay Connected.  We send announcements by email, posts on Facebook, and on this website.  Subscribe to get news & convenient links emailed directly to you.  Some of our meetings use Zoom (free download here).

What about Children?

Children are welcome in worship and we also have child care for the littlest ones who may need some time in their own space.  See Children in Worship.

Can I get food?

New food recipients do not require preregistration to receive food.  Distribution is Tuesday or Thursday 9am-11am (or until food runs out) and the third Saturday of every month from 9am-11 am (or until food runs out).   Both from the west parking lot, with drive thru and walk up options.  Identification is not required, but might help us spell name or address.  You self-certify that you meet program requirements by letting us record your name and address (if any) and receiving food.  No proof of income or citizenship or residency required.  See Resources for more information and agency lists.

Do you have a recovery group?

Straight-Up AA meets in spaces of this campus every Saturday at 10 a.m.  Park in west parking lot.

What about Prayer?

If you are open to new ways of speaking and listening to God, you might find something of interest on our Prayer Practices page.  If you want someone to pray for a specific concern, please call the office and the staff and/or prayer chain will pray for you.

Anything Else?

Please call the church office or use our contact form to communicate with us if you have further questions.
