Founded in 1862[3] as an Old School congregation during the Old School–New School Controversy, it is now part of the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s Presbytery of the Redwoods.[4] In 1954, the congregation consecrated the current building, which houses classrooms, offices, an auditorium, a social hall, a chapel, and a sanctuary.[5]
The building hosts programs for students at Vallejo Middle School, and also serves as seasonal concert space for the Vallejo Choral Society.[6]
The congregation is part of a group of Solano County and Napa County institutions that make up a local chapter of the Industrial Areas Foundation.[7]
