About Us

What We Believe

We believe there is one God, one Savior, and one Holy Spirit.

We believe that the stories and lessons found in the Bible are our God's Word for us, and our guide.

We believe that worship is central to spiritual life. So are questions.

We strive to follow Jesus as best as we can in our daily lives...and we know that we will mess up.

We believe that when we mess up, there is forgiveness and grace.

We welcome all persons regardless of skin color, native language, nationality, ethnicity, gender identity,

ability, legal status or sexual orientation.


Genesis Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Our History

There were once two churches, Trinity Presbyterian and Wilshire Presbyterian.

They were similar in many ways and geographically close to one another. Both were full of families and children and each had a childcare on its campus. Trinity Child Development Center was located at Trinity and Child, Inc. was located at Wilshire. Over the years, as the children grew up and moved away, each church’s membership began to dwindle. Wanting to keep a Presbyterian church in the area, the two churches decided to pool their resources and join together in a merger. After three years of planning and discussion, the newly merged church chose the Wilshire location as its home (it was the larger of the two) and the Trinity location was sold.
