Oceanside First Presbyterian Church & Preschool

"My family and I have been visiting here for a month or so. We love the friendly people and really enjoy the pastors sermon. Pastor Mike is so genuine and he is a force for Christ. His sermon's are based to help the congregation have a personal relationship with Jesus. We are in a new series on "Building Blocks of Faith." A beginners guide to following Jesus. Come and visit. This Church is welcoming to all. We enjoy the traditional music, the 3 minute vistion during service and a great sermon each week. We would encourage anyone to attend this church as a visitor looking for a home church or just to attend while on vacation. YOU WILL BE WELCOME HERE !"

"Oceanside First Presbyterian Church is the most warm and welcoming church that I have ever been to. They have an excellent Plan Your Visit program to make sure you are greeted (and seated with a member if you choose) and welcomed into the congregation. What I remember most from my first visit was the friendliness of the congregation, especially the member who sat next to me and guided me throughout the service. I also enjoyed the three-minute congregation greetings (every weekly service). I loved the positive sermon themes, the Praise Band, the Choir, even the way this church distributes communion by intinction. Pastor Mike is an exceptional Pastor encouraging the congregation every week to be more like Jesus. His sermons are inspiring and comforting. I encourage all of you to be part of his current sermon series "Journey through the Gospel of Mark: Are You Ready For Jesus.""

"My wife and I were visiting from out of state and decided to attend this church. What a great first impression! The church building and grounds were beautiful. We were warmly greeted by the ushers and easily found a spot to sit. The music during the service was a combination of praise music and choral music. Both were very good! Several church members came over to greet us during the service, which was nice. The pastor's message was very meaningful and relatable. After the service, there was a fellowship gathering with coffee and snacks. We will be sure to come back the next time we're in town."

"Oceanside First Pres has been the most loving and educational preschool for both of our children. They have both loved their teachers and made some best friends. We are grateful to the leadership at the preschool and church that has supported us as a family more than we could have asked for. We recommend First Pres to all of our friends with kids."

"This is possibly one of the friendliest churches I’ve ever been to! From my first time visiting years ago,I had been welcomed as people came to say hello, and as I have been attending and gotten to know the church more, I see many people’s love for God and for others. The focus here is gospel, that God loves you first and far most, and how that translates in how we live and how we understand walking in this faith."
