Founding

In May, 1867, two years after the end of the Civil War, construction began on the Pescadero Community Church. Founded as the First Congregational Church of Pescadero, the official dedication took place on December 3rd of that same year and is now the oldest surviving Protestant church building on the San Francisco Peninsula on its original site and foundation.

2005 Renovation

A major historic preservation project was completed in 2005 under the leadership of Lynne Bowman. Great care was taken to maintain the historic spirit and simple style of the building.

2023 Painting and Renewal

In 2023 the Church received a generous grant of San Mateo County Measure K Funds to paint the exterior of the building and social hall and to install a fire alarm system to protect this historic landmark and community space. Thank you to Supervisor Ray Mueller, Palladino Painting, Inc., and Lynne Bowman, who again worked tirelessly to coordinate the project.
