About Us

Our History

On June 10, 1903, West Side Presbyterian Church was formally organized at 939 Liberty Ave. with a membership of 26. Continued growth of the church over the years necessitated the construction of a larger church building at a new location. Land was purchased on Sun Valley Drive in 1957 and a new facility built. On July 7, 1963, the first service was held at Sun Valley Presbyterian Church.

Today, we boast an active congregation that worships and serves God in may ways in our community and in affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA).
