Pacific Presbyterian Church was organized during the Civil War (1864) by the Presbytery of St. Louis as The Presbyterian Church of Pacific City. The first pastor was Reverend J.F. Fenton. The first services were held in member's houses, the schoolhouse on the corner of Osage and 4th Streets and at the Masonic Hall. The congregation purchased the stone Union Church at the corner of 4th and St. Louis Streets in 1867 and it was renamed Pacific Presbyterian Church. In 1880, a Sabbath School was established. In 1926, the solid oak floor was elevated a couple of feet so a basement could be built underneath. In the 1950s and 1960s, the stone exterior was covered with brick veneer, a narthex was added to the front and the sanctuary was redecorated, including the installation of stained-glass windows at a cost of $45.00 each. In addition, a new manse was constructed, and the Garrett house next door was purchased for use as a Christian education building, pastor's study and church office.

Presbytery funds to conduct summer programs are available to member churches and social agencies in relationship with the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy. The funds will be awarded through an application process directed by the Public Witness Ministry Team.

The purpose of the grant is to provide opportunities for summer Christian education and witness, personal growth, faith formation, and recreation (if sanctioned by the local government) to children and adults in communities of need.

Topic - She will speak to us about her timely book Making The World Over: Confronting Racism, Misogyny, and Xenophobia in U.S. History (2021), followed by Q&A. (Reading the book in advance is not required to participate.) From the publisher: “Making the World Over is Marie Griffith’s thoughtful response to an imperiled nation that has forgotten how to listen and debate productively, at a time when it needs vigorous discourse more than ever. Griffith performs the urgent work of examining the histories behind the issues at the root of our country’s conflicts both past and present, from race and immigration to misogyny and reproductive rights.”
