Programs & Activities

At First Pres. SLO, intentional gatherings are promoted to foster and deepen our sense of community and provide a context to reflect on and nourish our spiritual lives. Congregational life engagement activities are enriched through prayer, bible study, missions, music, care ministries, as well as Fellowship activities.

We hold Sunday worship every week at 10 a.m., and you can attend in person or via our live stream. The service recording is posted on our YouTube page, so you can also watch it later. 

You can also join us for our Adult Education hour on Sunday mornings. Depending on the class, classes will be offered either before or after worship.

Every Thursday at 7 p.m., Pastor John leads a class on Zoom. All are welcome to join, and you can click the link below to view the topics Pastor John has covered.

For women who want to join a group, we have several options available. Through Presbyterian Women, the Friendship Circle meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month in the mornings, the Virginia Terry Circle meets on the 2nd Wednesday evening via Zoom, and Women of the Word meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday afternoons. Also, our women's breakfast group meets on the 4th Friday of each month at 8:30 a.m. 

Men can also join our groups. Our men's group, Man Talk, meets every Monday at 7 p.m. via Zoom, and our men's breakfast group meets on the 3rd Friday of the month at 8 a.m. here in San Luis Obispo. 

If you're interested in joining a book group, we have two that meet regularly. Book Browsers meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. via Zoom, and the Monday Group meets every Monday at 4 p.m. via Zoom.

If you love music, we have two groups that help enhance our worship services all year round. Both groups meet Wednesday evenings. Handbell Choir meets at 5:45 p.m., and Church Choir meets at 7 p.m. 


The Children's choir meets on Wednesday evenings during our kids' program, Wednesdays at the Rock. If you want more information about this program, please click on the link below.
