VISITORS
Welcome to La Jolla Presbyterian Church. We’re so glad you visited our website today, and we hope you’ll visit La Jolla Pres soon in person.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions people ask before coming to visit:
What can I expect at La Jolla Pres?
We hope you’ll feel warmly welcomed! Our family is multi-generational, with a mixture of many ethnic backgrounds. Dress tends to be business casual, but there’s always a range from ties to jeans. Children are welcome in the worship services but they tend to love our Sunday School programs; nursery and age appropriate classes are provided for children from birth through Middle School.
When are worship services?
Our Sunday morning worship services are at 8:45 and 10:00AM. The 8:45 service is traditional and in the main Sanctuary; the 10:00 contemporary service meets in Fellowship Hall. The traditional services are an hour, the contemporary service lasts about 70 minutes.

Our worship services have a strong focus on preaching of the Bible. Our music is a blend of old and new, traditional and contemporary. Our goal is to glorify God and exalt our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be sure to allow a few extra minutes to park and check in young children. Greeters and ushers are in our courtyard and at the entrance of the church to answer questions, give you a newsletter, and help you find a seat.
