Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.

Our church exists to participate in and share the Good News of Christ’s love and redemption with each other and the community. By extending our ministry through the internet, we hope you will yearn to participate at East Whittier Presbyterian, in its mission to:

- Strengthen programs that retain and attract children, youth and adults, welcoming all persons and promoting an inclusive environment, while maintaining the reformed tradition.

- Empower the leadership and membership, through training, education and support, to assertively share the Good News with the community.

- Offer programs, education and fellowship opportunities to prospective and continuing members to promote an understanding of the Bible, prayer, Presbyterian heritage, and beliefs.

- Join together through proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prayer and inward reflection in the celebration of divine worship.
