Our congregation was started in 1852 and the first church construction started in 1858. The present church was built in 1908 and has beautiful stained glass windows which were part of the original construction.  Over the years there has been constant updating of facilities. In 1993 an addition was made to add classrooms, meeting rooms, and a large room for fellowship and various large activities. Our Sunday service is at 9:00, with a social hour with snacks following the service.  Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month, and on special occasions, and is open to everyone.

The governing body of our church and all PCUSA is a group elected by the church membership called the Session. Present Session members are Kathy Markgraf, Ron Nelson, Rod Hansen, Mark Fryman, Lexine Weber, and Herb Damsteegt. Our policy and that of the PC(USA) is that all voices are valued and included. We value diversity and celebrate the gifts of all people.

We hope that our church serves as a secure place for our members and guests to hear comforting words of scripture and feel strengthened by fellow church members. We see ourselves as a friendly, open church, reaching people who are looking for God in their lives and those disillusioned by churches in the past. The great ends of our Church are the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind; the spiritual fellowship of all; the maintenance of divine worship; the preservation of the truth; the promotion of social righteousness and the exhibition of the Kingdom of Heaven to the world. Our church has a strong belief in helping those in need. This is confirmed by the fact that we annually have two groups from our congregation that travel considerable distances to help others. There is a group of adults that travel to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico to help build a church school for the children of the area. They pay their own expenses through fundraising and personal contribution. We also provide assistance to those in need in our geographic area via Reach Out Lodi and other missions.
