Celebrating 160 Years
of Faith and Community
This year, 2025, marks the 160th Anniversary of First Congregational Church of Stockton. Since our founding we have been rooted in the "first principles" of faith and love as taught by Christ and the Apostles. Over the decades, our church has been led by dedicated ministers and supported by vibrant congregations. Through it all, love —the desire and action for the well-being of others—has remained our guiding principle even as Jesus is our guiding Light.
A Legacy of
Inclusivity and
Interfaith Collaboration
From the beginning, our church has embraced the teachings and call of Jesus and the Apostles to love others and honor the dignity of all people. We have a rich history of interfaith and ecumenical partnerships, welcoming Jewish Rabbis, Catholic Priests, and other clergy to our pulpit and collaborating on community ministries. These efforts continue to this day, fostering mutual respect and shared purpose.
Justice has always been a cornerstone of our faith and church community.
